Xavier Restrepo’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Xavier Restrepo was, without a doubt, Cam Ward’s favorite target in the 2024 Miami offense. Restrepo eclipsed 1,000 yards for the second straight season, racking up 69 catches for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns.
He was incredibly productive in college, but how he projects to the NFL is less clear. Restrepo has a strong frame at 5’10”, 209 pounds, and his superpower is his short-area quickness as a route runner and RAC threat. But Restrepo lacks great speed and explosiveness, and his sub-30″ arms greatly reduce his catch radius and viability against press coverage.
Restrepo likely projects as a slot-only target at the NFL level, and his limited athletic ceiling may impact his draft capital. Still, in the right role, he can go on to exceed his draft billing with his toughness, separation IQ, and sturdy hands.

Where Does Xavier Restrepo Rank Among 2025’s WR Prospects?
Here are the top 10 WR rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft, according to PFSN Draft Analyst Ian Cummings:
10. Kyle Williams, Washington State
9. Jayden Higgins, Iowa State
8. Tre Harris, Ole Miss

6. Luther Burden III, Missouri
5. Jalen Royals, Utah State
4. Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona

Restrepo does not rank inside Cummings’ top 10 WRs. However, he is the 151st overall player in PFSN’s Top 300 Big Board.
Although Restrepo sports a sawed-off build, his frame density makes him a weapon akin to the way that Sean McVay has used Cooper Kupp throughout the years. Kupp often motions around the tackle box to be used as a battering ram against backside defensive ends and linebackers on split-zone action.
