Many Carolina Panthers fans hoped that the addition of No. 8 overall pick Tetairoa McMillan and the growth of fellow second-round wideout Jalen Coker would alleviate some of the pressure on Xavier Legette. However, that has not been the case.
Simply put, Legette has shown little to justify his first-round selection so far.
On the season, Legette has 20 receptions on 38 targets for 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns, hardly good production through nine games, eight of which he's played. And when you add in the caveat that nine of those catches and 92 of those yards came in a win over the New York Jets, it’s even more damming for the South Carolina native.
