New Panthers HC Canales has worked with Mike Evans and DK Metcalf in Tampa Bay and Seattle and now hopes to add Legette to that list.
The Carolina Panthers made a splash at the end of the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft when they traded up one spot, from No. 33 to No. 32 to secure South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette., Legette is already on track to be another big receiver with a big role for new Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who has worked with Mike Evans and DK Metcalf in the past during his stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks.
They also wanted a receiver who could create separation and get open deep. Despite being slowed by a hamstring injury, Legette has been all that and will be a starter right away.One player who is particularly excited to get to work with Legette is last year's No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Bryce Young.
