Xavier Legette expressed determination to enhance his performance as he enters his third season with the Panthers. After experiencing a dip in stats from 2024 to 2025, he stated a need for improvement ahead of the 2026 season. Legette is focused on a 'do or die' mindset in his offseason training, which he believes will keep him motivated. His solid early career includes 84 catches, 860 yards, and seven touchdowns, but the competition for his role may increase with the Panthers' recent contracts for other receivers, including Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan.
- •Legette's production declined in 2025 despite Jalen Coker's absence.
- •He has 84 catches for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in two seasons.
- •This offseason, he aims for significant improvement.
- •Panthers extended Jalen Coker's contract and developed Tetairoa McMillan.

"The Panthers made a commitment to wide receiver Jalen Coker with a three-year contract extension last week and 2025 offensive rookie of the year Tetairoa McMillan is clearly part of their future plans, but it's less clear if the wideout they picked in the first round in 2024 is in that picture.
