He might as well be a bonus draft pick, so I’m giving him his own thread   https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Xavier-Restrepo-WR-Miami    

Brain: He's a UDFA. It's worth a shot and costs basically nothing. Probably never does anything and likely doesn't even make the 53.   HEART: STEAL OF CENTURY. WARD AND RESTREPO CANTON BOUND

And just because @Miami718 brought up Braxton Berrios in another thread.

And not captured by those scores: Braxton and X's intelligence. Both graduated with nearly 4.0 GPAs and that classroom intelligence and work ethic translates directly to outperforming their combine "measurables"

Plenty of elite athletes fail as WRs because they don’t have good WR skills (route running, hands, etc).
 

Restrepo seems to have those skills in spades, plus good quickness and bulk (for a slot). He just doesn’t have speed. That’s going to cap his ceiling, but a guy like him can clearly succeed in the NFL. If all he ever is is a possession slot WR who gets open underneath and can go over the middle and take a hit then sign me up.

Even the so-called lack of speed is debatable, assuming the hamstring issue he said he was dealing with was real.

 

If he actually runs in the 4.5-4.6 range on healthy gams then we may have committed highway robbery getting him undrafted. You even had Callahan saying that's not what he thought he would have run. On tape he's routinely getting open, getting down field, and just overall being a playmaker.

 

I also think the covid extra year of eligibility probably helped push him down with the extra players. In any other year he probably goes in at least the 6th or 7th even with the 4.8 40.

It's amazing that Restrepo was able to accumulate more stats in college vs Moss, Wayne, Irvin and Andre Johnson considering he played 1-2 more seasons than any of them!

Almost all of his production came the last 2 years. That said, late bloomers rarely work out.

The funny thing is all the great Miami WRs had 40+ catches and 600-80 yards as their best season. Only AJ cracked 1k one time out of Moss, Irvin, Wayne and Johnson.

Yup, looked up their leading guys when I heard he was the leading receiver. Was a bit shocked how little actual production they all had.
