Xavier Restrepo Scouting Report
Xavier Restrepo is a volume slot receiver who is the University of Miami’s all-time leader in both single-season receptions as well as receptions in a career. He was also just the sixth receiver in school history to have a 1,000-yard season—and he did it twice. Restrepo can attribute much of his success over the last two years to his nuanced route running and ability to generate quick separation. He is explosive off the line and is smooth in and out of his breaks. He has incredible short-area quickness that allows him to create a consistent target for his quarterback. Restrepo is a reliable chain-mover with sticky hands and the toughness to grind out extra yards after the catch.
Restrepo lives in the slot, but he’s a threat to win on in-breaking routes, out-breaking routes, hitches, screens, and even the occasional vertical pattern. With the ball in his hands, Restrepo will fight with every blade of grass he can get.
Where Restrepo falls short is in his natural athletic traits—particularly long speed. While he generates plenty of initial burst and lateral quickness, Restrepo isn’t threatening too many defenders with his long speed. He’s also going to struggle against physical defenders in tight coverage on the outside.
That’s why Xavier Restrepo projects as a pure slot receiver at the NFL level. He will thrive as a trusted chain mover who quarterbacks can turn to in must-have situations. He will win with quickness, detailed route-running, and good initial acceleration off the line of scrimmage. Restrepo plays above his size and displays incredible toughness that will help him succeed in the middle of the field. He will fit best on a team that uses a lot of 11-personnel and is in need of a physical slot receiver. Teams may even view him as a guy who can contribute on special teams which will only enhance his value on draft weekend.
Speaking of the NFL Draft, Xavier Restrepo will likely hear his name called sometime in the third round. And in dynasty, he will be a consideration in the back-half of rookie drafts with the hopes that he becomes the next volume slot receiver to make a quick impact in the league.
