The Carolina Panthers are suffering through yet another miserable season, but they were able to score an overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend by the final score of 36-30.
Wide receiver Xavier Legette didn’t play in that game, but he is someone the team has some hope for moving forward as it attempts to build a winning program.
He was recently seen in the locker room serving up raccoon meet for reporters.

Legette, a native of the state of South Carolina, played his college ball at the University of South Carolina, and last season, he caught 71 passes for 1,255 yards and seven touchdowns, which earned him second-team All-SEC honors.
The Panthers made him the last pick of the first round of this year’s draft.
While he hasn’t been very impressive, he has logged 412 catches for 439 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games this season.
Legette does possess strong speed, as he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at the NFL scouting combine, and he also registered a 40-inch vertical leap.
The Panthers are in great need of a legitimate playmaker at the WR position, especially when it comes to aiding the development of second-year quarterback Bryce Young.
Young has struggled mightily so far in the pros, and he was originally benched, although he regained his starting spot in late October when Andy Dalton injured his thumb.
