Arroyo has always been a stud and built up as such he’s just been out so long he’s going to have to reintroduce himself to folks……..and he will.

I was hyped when we got dude! He was a BEAST! And was recruited by EVERYONE!! What surprised me the most about this kid is how good he picked up blocking so quickly. We need to use him outside and in the slot a lot more though because that’s where he shined most in HS

Arroyo’s a better athlete for sure.. if he has the same impact TBD but that should be his usage

I know you’re close to him so I’m sure you’re very optimistic. But if he’s legitimately 100.0% healthy, he will be very much an anomaly. I’m sure he’ll play and I’m sure he’ll be good. But less than 1 calendar year from an ACL tear for a college kid is very iffy.

It’s just so rare to have your full explosiveness back this quickly. NFL guys struggle with it in the vast majority of cases, and that’s when it’s their literal job to rehab surrounded by a team of dudes whose job it is to help them rehab. College is a different animal entirely. He might be the the best athlete on the team but betting on him showing it, at least early in the year, is a longshot.

Hope he bucks the trend and balls out from day 1, though. Of course.

Everything you said is valid and I’m very much willing to admit my bias. But if you’re asking me to put it aside, 75% (that’s my personal estimate on him but we’ll see in a few weeks) of him is more athletic than most at the Position. What’s missing right now is his explosiveness out of breaks BUT if he catches it turn the tv on he’s still a yac monster

Very fair. If he’s even 90%, I absolutely love our TE group and would put it up against virtually anyone in the country.

I just hate for him and for the team that he had such a significant injury. It really robs you of basically 2 years. But regardless, just being out there and running and being physical, I’m sure he’s so happy to just be able to compete. Safe to say his straight line speed is completely back to where it was?
 
Need to stay healthy. Last year the roster was a MASH unit by the end of the season. And I don’t think I am out of line saying the same for some Mario’s Oregon teams. Yes, I’m pointing a finger at the goofy mustache man running the weight room.

Yeah he can get up and down pretty good. His start is still choppy but again, The injury is tough.

He should be on the hot seat, we were burnt out by the end of the year and injured as ****. All that oh it’s football injuries happen or the kids aren’t use to this training is bull**** in 2023.

Yes it was in September but that doesn’t matter, what does is when he had the surgery and I’m not sure when that happened. My guess would be sometime in October but again I don’t know.

It does matter because we know he didnt have the surgery before the injury.. lol
