Yea aj brownish but for him to reach that level of production would be crazy . Just because we’re talking about a top 5 guy . He’s def that mold . I said Pierre garçon or anquan boldin which are similar trait guys . I would love for my team to grab him in 3rd or 4th round .
@@Jaybrown223 I think I’m going to trust my father who was a NFL scout 31 years and the stories he’s told me about scouts around the league. So Jay go flash yourself in somebody else’s comments.
I cannot do a mock draft without reaching for Xavier! i remember #17 Alshon Jeffrey from the game cocks and wishing my team drafted him, Xavier is BETTER! don't let the stats fool you, Legette is a dawggg!!!! dope break down Steve, love your videos!
I think he is a late bloomer because he was a high school quaterback/rb. It took him a little while to learn the position. I think he will be a solid pro.
He started out as receiver early in high school then switched to QB cause he was the best athlete on the team and they wanted the ball in his hands every play to make choice of run or throw. Didn't switch back to WR till college
I want the Patriots to take him at 34 but I don’t know if he makes it past the Ravens if AD Mitchell is off the board by pick 29 . They need a physical X to compliment Flowers
Wore 89 in college cause Agent 89 was my idol. Now he is officially "the".... subject matter expert on the WR position. Carry on. Really hoping my Chiefs take a run on this guy at 32. We need an outside WR
Damn how much help does Lamar need. 2 1st round WRs, he had Odell, now he has Derrick Henry. Don’t forget mark Andrew’s, and the back up te that looked nice.
Really thoufht my Ravens were gonna get em at 30. We went for Wiggins which im SUPER hype about But man. This kid has the physical tools and the humble attitude to be amazing
9:32 this is the statement that makes this video. No one remembers who the SC QB was before Rattler. And even Rattler wasn't as consistent as any SC fan hoped for when he transferred here. As a panther fan, gotta hope for the best, but i think he's definitely an upgrade from Mingo just the speed alone. With Theilen and Johnson getting the bulk of targets he's in a better spot than Mingo was coming in. Less immediate pressure to perform, and can return kicks while building on his game and learning from a couple vets. Kinda like the guy with the glasses on the left did when he was a kid lol. Also, i think Mingo will take a step forward in year 2. Bryce with a couple extra seconds to find guys as well as him having some nfl experience will make a big difference imo. The high pick might be a little added pressure but i don't think it'll matter. Some wr screens like the old John Fox and 89 days, some reverses, line him up in the backfield and let him cook. If you can't make that size and speed work, you're doing something wrong as a coaching staff
As a life long Panthers fan, you are truly my favorite panther of all time. I just can't trust this take after what I seen personally AND after Mingo. I'm not saying leggett will be bad but the 3rd round would be far better IMHO for what iv seen on tape vs 33. He's not my favorite... The real player at 33 if available should be AD Mitchell if I assume Brian Thomas is long gone. Thanks for your hard work Steve, not personal. #keeppoundin
@@PizzaHutCEO really like Polk. Think we’ll see what we have with Javon baker and if he doesn’t stick then we will be shopping for a WR1 cause Polk is more of a WR2
Gotta look at the team as a whole when looking at production. Their o-line only has 1 drafted OL in last 5 years . Then add up down QB play dur to the OL. Then add in the depth chart of who was 1 , 2 and 3 reads above him.
@@exomake_mehorololoIsolated data is ruining scouting. It’s the Brady effect. They propping or dropping a player based on one stat instead of putting due context everywhere.
Malachi Corley is the man, top 4-5 prospect to me, bros balance is insane, and his build for a receiver is crazy, he plays to his size, constantly leveling corners and hardly getting tackled down out of bounds, superstar incoming…
@@OneSourceForLove idk, can’t say many r better than Nico. Great hands, fast, 💨 , breaks tackles. Last year he was only limited by how often they wanted to throw to him. I wouldn’t be upset if Xavier wound up on the lions though.
To answer the question, the QB immediately prior to Rattler was Zeb Nolan... That's right, grad asst turned Starter Zeb Nolan... Before that Jake Bentley
@@WerdUp132 years. Xavier was down on the depth chart in 2022. Rattler gave us an all SEC WR in 2022 already but it was Juice Wells. He was injured all season and didn't play majority of it. Other experienced WRs had transferred out in off season or were injured. Xavier really saved us w Spencer
I believe Legette would be a perfect pick up for a team with a number 1 receiver already on the team. He could learn from that number 1 receiver and not have all that pressure on him from the beginning. I do see him as being a future number 1 WR with experience.
I'm not sure if you read your comments, @stevesmithsr. Now that the panthers have drafted X, how do you see the utilizing Mingo with the addition of X to the roster. They seem very similar in stature. As the Pathers WR ( no shade to Moose) how do you see them on the field together? Thanks
It is going to be interesting at the top of the 2nd Round and your mind starts wondering if XL name is the name you hear and then just like you expect "The Carolina Panthers with the 33rd pick in the draft selects Xavier Legette from the University of South Carolina."
I remember when alshon came out they said he dropped in the draft due to his weight fluctuation. Up and down.. think he was about 220 play weight. Got up to 235 in collages I see so much of the same
I really want the Patriots to pick him. Might be a reach in the early 2nd round but don't know if he'll fall to the 3rd. Might need to move back up to the mid/late 2nd round.
Carolina had Rattler in 2022 and 2023. Rattler made 2 top all SEC WR each over 1000 yards. Juice Wells in 2022 who was injured most of last season and Xavier Legette. Our WR2 in 2022 was Jaheim Bell who was snatched up by Lincoln Riley in the portal. it's not surprising Xavier didn't have better numbers especially as he missed a lot the season prior
How come nobody brings up that he was behind 5 NFL Wide Recievers and 5 NFL TEs….they act like SC didn’t have talent. Then combine all of that with terrible QB play. Ppl don’t have a clue
If the Chargers trade out of 5 and pass on the top 3 w.r. I’d love this guy as their 2nd rounder..or third…but I’d be surprised if he gets out of the 2nd round.⚡️
Doubt he’ll make it to the ravens pick but he’s worth grabbing if there. I know we got a few other needs but certain players you don’t want to let slide.
Not too many 220lbs WR’s that run a sub 4.4 40 in the NFL. XL is definitely an interesting and has the potential to be a special player or he can be a bust if he doesn’t land in a good situation and doesn’t have time to develop.
You have to understand X had lost both his parents,covid year,and first year playing behind upper classmates...he is my cuz and will be a Beast
Gonna hold you to this todd lol, he's gonna look great in black and blue
🙏🏾
They don’t understand it. And you ain’t mention the most important aspect: TERRIBLE QB his first 4 years. TERRIBLE
He may be an outlier then because his profile reeks of being mediocre in the NFL, historically speaking.

He reminds me more of A.J. Brown, or a cross between Brown and Metcalf.
He’s a faster AJ brown and a shorter DK 😂 he could be one of the most dominate wideouts from this class he’s a freak

Alshon was a solid NFL receiver. Also different body types. You can tell X is a gym rat and he has natural genes.
With the new Rules. I can see teams drafting more WRs and TEs. Especially on kick off returns.
Great comments and film breakdown. Wondering if he's on the Bills radar? 28 seems early but maybe a trade down.
He’s my 5th wide receiver remind me if alshon Jeffrey’s. Strong hand that has a high catch% radius. Big and strong X.
can you do Ladd Mconkey?
17:00 thats textbook. Do it in the corners blind spot.
Hopefully we got a WR that can make an awesome imprint like HOF SMITTY did!
Context to reasoning why this was Legettes most productive year is key
I remember DK was suppose to be not good just goes to show people need to be quiet till they get on the field
He and Lamar Jackson would feed all of Baltimore!!!
I seen so many lions mocks with Keon Coleman over Xavier leggette id be so pissed if they pass on this dude

Unfortunate he didn’t fall to Patriots. Will be a wasted talent in Carolina
Major key to his success was the qb play too. Spencer was only there for his most used season I do believe.
Carolina had Rattler in 2022 and 2023. Rattler made 2 top all SEC WR each over 1000 yards. Juice Wells in 2022 who was injured most of last season and Xavier Legette.
