With Keenan Allen set to depart in free agency, Rome Odunze and DJ Moore have the X and Z positions secured for the long term. But Ben Johnson and Declan Doyle need an impact player at the Y, or slot receiver.

Xavier Restrepo constantly proved how good he was at that in 2024, being Cam Ward's primary aerial target in the quarterback's only season at Miami with 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns. He, the aforementioned two, and tight end Cole Kmet may very well help Caleb Williams become the first 4,000-yard passer in franchise history.
