The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Xavier Restrepo, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
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.

Previously, CSN’s Brian Burden had this to say about Restrepo’s selection in a mock draft:
The 5’10”, 209-pound dynamo could become a quick favorite of Sanders with his consistent production across the field. He was a consensus All-American after catching 69 passes for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Hurricanes, the second straight season he eclipsed the century mark for yards.
