In other news, football bats. He understands the game way better than Dike or Ayo. The fact is he wasn't drafted and has extremely limited upside because of his athleticism.

Nash Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 So Restrepo has great agility, and good size, quick moves in short area are his strength, and he looks built like a small linebacker.. if he can block really well, like on a bubble screen, he may find a role..

Nash Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Based on film and production, Restrepo was expected to be drafted in the fifth or sixth round, but a 4.85-second 40-yard dash at his pro day may have cost him. Intangibles are the name of the game with Restrepo, who, despite his lack of ideal speed or size, holds school records for the most career receptions (200) and receiving yards (2,844), over such names as Reggie Wayne, Michael Irvin, and Santana Moss. Restrepo uses instincts to feel out soft spots in coverage, physicality to block and churn out extra yards, balance and body control to get open and make tough catches, and pure competitiveness to succeed. As Ward’s No. 1 target in Coral Gables, he stands a strong chance of making the 53-man roster if that chemistry continues. from profootballrumors..

OILERMAN Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 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! japan, and Justafan 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireInTheHole Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Honestly, I’m hoping he makes the team purely based on how upset it’ll make the resident assholes. Pragidealist, titanruss, and Supernope 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" NashvilleNinja, and titanruss 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Your discounting Welker is super hard working, super smart, very likeable, easy to coach, disciplined Restrepo, from first look he's none of those, plus non athletic!
