RENTON, Wash. -- Moments after the Seattle Seahawks selected Miami tight end Elijah Arroyo with the 50th pick last month, the NFL Network showed a graphic with a fascinating comparison from draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah.
Below the bullet-pointed text touting Arroyo's ability to stretch the middle of the field and another line noting his durability issues, there was the name of the NFL player to whom Jeremiah likened Seattle's second-round pick: Noah Fant.
Even before the draft, Fant -- the Seahawks' current TE1 -- seemed like less than a sure thing to remain with the team in 2025 because of a pricey contract that has outpaced his production over his three years in Seattle.
