Maybe. But maybe he can be a receiving threat type TE. Time will tell. He's a big guy. 6'6" 235 lbs now as per one of the coaches.

Good for Arnold.

Hoomanawanui needs to be pushed @ the #3 TE spot.

Same goes with TEs as the rookie RBs, Arnold's got to be able to block or it's a "tell" that he's going out on a passing route; and misdirection is key to our offense...

If he develops into a legit blocker by Week 1, making this roster, he probably goes to the top of the depth chart by season end with his size, catch radius...

He's got a helluva resource in Coach Dan Campbell...
