Xavier Legette apologizes to Panthers fans for wild preseason fight, ejection

As you might expect, both players were immediately ejected from the game.

It didn't take long for Legette to find his phone in the locker room. He logged on to the toxic wasteland formerly known as Twitter and apologized to Panthers fans, also promising that it wouldn't happen again.

Obviously you don't want one of your top-three wide receivers to get ejected regardless of the context, especially not that early in the game. At least it won't cost the Panthers anything as this one won't count in the standings no matter what happens.

Looking ahead, Legette is expected to start alongside veteran Adam Thielen and rookie Tetairoa McMillan for Carolina's first-string offense. Legette showed promise as a rookie but he also struggled with drops, especially in some high-leverage situations. If he can clean that issue up Legette may yet live up to his potential as a first-round draft pick.
