Xavier Restrepo fits the profile of a slot receiver who can go and get those tough yards and move the chains. We see shades of Jarvis Landry and Julian Edelman in him. This young wideout is as tough as they come and it would be a mistake to overlook what a nuanced route runner and smart player he truly is. He has the type of skill set that may not show up at the NFL Scouting Combine, but will absolutely be evident as soon as you see him on an NFL field. If somehow he falls past the second round, the team who drafts him will be getting a massive steal. However, we don't see that happening and expect him to be a strong pickup in the middle of the second round in the 2025 NFL Draft.
