Our Thoughts

Xavier Legette's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

Legette was selected with the final pick of the first round, but starting his NFL career as a 23-year-old is not ideal.

Being handpicked by the new coaching staff for the Mike Evans role in Dave Canales’ offense is exciting, but the Panthers are unlikely to be a high-powered offense.

He is likely to start off slow and is not a great bet to be startable this season, so we have him lower in our 2024 WR rankings compared to his current ADP.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Legette was selected by the Panthers with the 32nd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
  • He played five years at South Carolina, making very little impact until the 2023 season.
  • Legette posted career-best numbers across the board last year:
    • 97 targets
    • 71 catches
    • 1,255 receiving yards
    • 7 receiving TDs
  • Legette’s breakout age at 22.6 is eighth percentile among drafted WRs.
  • He was near the top of the leaderboards in the SEC:
    • Second in yards per game (104.5)
    • Fourth in receptions per game (5.9)
    • Fifth in yards per catch (17.68)
  • Legette was named second-team All-SEC.
  • He measured in at 6 '1, 212 pounds at the NFL Combine and registered an outstanding 4.39 40-yard time.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Legette will play under HC Dave Canales who will be calling plays for the Panthers offense.
    • Canales was the OC for the Buccaneers last season.
    • Under Canales, the Buccaneers ranked 19th in the NFL with 568 passes.
  • Legette is unlikely to out-target WR Diontae Johnson. We’ll see if the rookie can push past Adam Thielen for the No. 2 WR job.
  • The Panthers are expected to take a step forward this year after only winning two games last season. They are fourth in the NFC South and 31st in the league with a 5.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Panthers have the worst odds in the NFL to win the Super Bowl at +25000 at most sportsbooks.

Xavier Legette "Week-To-Week" With Groin Injury

Xavier Legette "Week-To-Week" With Groin Injury

Panthers WR Xavier Legette is considered "week-to-week" with the groin injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, HC Dave Canales said. It sounds like Legette might miss more than just one game. He's droppable from redraft rosters. Legette's absence should put WR Jalen Coker back in a full-time role, alongside WRs Adam Thielen and David Moore.

Panthers HC Dave Canales labeled WR Xavier Legette "day-to-day" with the shoulder injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Bears. Legette spoke to the media after the game and said that he expects to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. We'll track the rookie's status throughout the week.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen injured a hamstring on his 31-yard TD catch near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He's officially questionable to return. Thielen's absence will mean more playing time for WRs Xavier Legette and Jonathan Mingo, who had been splitting snaps.

Update: Thielen has been ruled out.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette returned to practice today after suffering a foot injury a week ago. His MRI results were negative for a fracture and it appears Legette is back and healthy.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette is considered "day-to-day" with a foot injury he suffered on Sunday, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Legette had an MRI that ruled out a fracture in the injured foot.
