Seahawks Rookie Elijah Arroyo Sets High Expectations for Jalen Milroe

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo has expressed strong confidence in rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe, stating they could form a productive partnership and that Milroe has the potential to be an elite NFL quarterback. Arroyo, one of Seattle’s second-round picks, views himself as both a tight end and a receiving threat in the passing game, highlighting his versatility. Despite past knee injuries, Arroyo is expected to be a significant target for quarterback Sam Darnold if he remains healthy, after a productive college season. The team’s rookie minicamp also featured first-round pick Grey Zabel working at left guard as expected, and second-round safety Nick Emmanwori receiving guidance on playing near the line of scrimmage. Head coach Mike Macdonald noted encouraging first impressions from the rookie linemen, emphasizing their skill sets and attitudes. Overall, the Seahawks’ rookie class is generating optimism as the team reshapes its roster with both immediate contributors and developmental prospects.
