6/20/25 | Xavier Legette sets goal for Carolina Panthers to break a 7-year long trend. In 2024, the team used the final pick in the draft that year on University of South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette.

DJ Siddiqi of Forbes also pointed out some more sobering news. “Legette struggled with drops during his first year,” said Siddiqi, “posting seven drops, ranking among the top 22 in the NFL.” All that aside, the Panthers have a new-look wide receiver room.

12/10/24 | Darius Slay caught a massive break in Eagles-Panthers, then put the game away. Darius Slay knew he got cooked, incredibly lucky, too. The veteran cornerback, in his return back from a concussion, left Sunday's 22-16 Eagles win against the Panthers as the game-saving hero, having batted Carolina's last chance down into the dirt. A Xavier Legette drop on a wide-open post to the end zone bailed him out and kept the Eagles alive. Slay knew it, but made good on it, chasing a veteran Adam Thielen across the middle of the field two plays later to jump and get a hand in the way of a do-or-die fourth-down pass from Bryce Young for the game-sealing incompletion.
