Panthers rookie has all the tools to be among the elite at his position come day one

Xavier Legette managed an injury throughout OTAs, but veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen has seen enough. 

On a recent episode of the Rich Eisen Show, Thielen explained that Legette has every tool at his disposal to be one of the best wide receivers in the league. 

“I think I saw a little snippet of the Panthers did a little documentary deal they do every summer, and a little snippet of how Coach Canales talks about him,” Thielen said. “His ability to have that size and length, and then, pair that with speed and movement and how he attacks the football, you don’t find those guys everywhere. There’s not a guy like that in every draft, there’s not a guy like that on every team. I think the potential is, the sky’s the limit for him. I’m excited to be around him.

“I think a great thing about him, as well, is he’s kind of a sponge in the fact that he does want to learn. He’s not a guy just coming in, thinking he knows everything because he’s a top draft pick and had success in his last year of college. He’s a guy who just is a sponge and wants to learn, wants to grow as a player, wants to grow as a person. I enjoy that part of the game.”
