Xavier Restrepo first NFL catch comes on signature Cam Ward play vs Seahawks

Xavier Restrepo waited until the fourth quarter of his first game to make his first NFL catch, and it came on a signature play by his college and-now-pro quarterback for the Tennessee Titans against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 23.

Cam Ward avoided one defender, then found Restrepo in the middle of the field for a 14-yard gain as the rookie quarterback was being hit out of bounds at Nissan Stadium.

Ward has shown the ability to make these kinds of plays outside of the pocket, keeping his eyes downfield and showing a fearlessness in throwing across the field to an open receiver.

Add it to Ward's highlight reel, and start one for Restrepo.

Restrepo was featured some in the second half at receiver as the Titans' evolving receiver rotation continued on against Seattle. His first target came with him in the end zone on what was an incomplete pass.

The undrafted free agent out of Miami was elevated from the practice squad for the Week 12 game after Calvin Ridley was lost for the season last week and Elic Ayomanor was ruled out with a hamstring injury during the week.

The Titans drive did sputter out for no points after a sack and a holding penalty, but the Ward off-script highlights continue to pile up in his rookie season.
