Jalen Coker thrives for Panthers while Xavier Legette struggles

Wide receiver Jalen Coker, an undrafted rookie for the Carolina Panthers, has established himself as a key player. In a recent game against the Bears, he registered eight catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, first-round pick Xavier Legette is falling behind in the depth chart, with his role diminishing compared to Coker. Coach Dave Canales praised Coker's performance and highlighted the importance of making plays when opportunities arise. Coker's strong showing, including a playoff performance last year, led to a three-year, $35 million contract extension. Coker is set to play this Sunday against Atlanta despite a sore ankle.
