Xavier Legette is a 2024 first-round pick out of the University of South Carolina who is expected to make a big impact in the passing game for Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers.
Legette put up 1,255 yards on 71 catches last season for the Gamecocks and has been penciled in as one of three starters at the wide receiver position alongside Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson.

On Monday, NFL reporter Ian Rapoport revealed the latest news on an injury to Legette's foot.
"My understanding is, X-rays were negative (on the injury)," Rapoport said in a video posted to X. "(He) had an MRI, it really revealed...Just kind of like a bone bruise," the National Insider for the NFL Network and NFL.com said.
The Panthers finished dead last in the NFL in passing last season with just over 265 yards per game.
Former number one overall pick Bryce Young threw for 2,877 yards but almost had as many interceptions (10) as touchdowns (11) over the course of the season.
He completed less than 60 percent of his passes in stark contrast with his college statistics as a member of Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide, during which he completed 64.5 and 66.9 percent of his passes in his senior and junior years, respectively.
