Araiza has two technical jobs that matter: flip the field and keep the place-kick operation clean. He does not need headlines; he needs repeatable placement, hang time and calm hands as a holder.

Strengths: Starting punter, first-team holder, operation continuity, and initial-53 role.

Weaknesses: Punter evaluation is highly situational and net-field-position consistency will determine his value.
