Big-frame QB with leadership juice, but the numbers say efficiency has lagged
In the 2004 season, Arnoldink stood out as a 6-4, 233-pound senior with a big arm, decent mobility, and the kind of leadership Central Michigan coaches said earned teammates’ respect. He was described as showing better command of the offense and confidence, but also needing more efficiency in the passing game. Stat-wise, his 2004 line was modest: 21 completions on 40 attempts for 198 yards, 0 passing touchdowns, and 2 interceptions, so the appeal is more about size, experience, and intangibles than gaudy production.
