Xavier Legette remains confident: "When it pops, it's going to pop"

CHARLOTTE — Xavier Legette is willing to admit this hasn't been the easiest start to a season.

But he's also confident that what's happening now isn't going to last.

"When it pops it's going to pop," Legette said Thursday. "The ball's going to find me, and it's going to be what it's going to be."

He was matter-of-fact and confident in his approach in part because he was being coached up from behind the media scrum by his fellow wide receiver and close friend David Moore.

While a throng of reporters surrounded Legette after practice, Moore was on the periphery watching closely, and when it was over, he laughed and said, "I got my boy over there. Y'all grilling my dog. Get off his neck. Get off his neck."

Panthers 2nd-year receiver Xavier Legette looks to push though slow start

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Xavier Legette remains confident despite a slow start to the season, saying “when it pops, it's going to pop."

Carolina's 2023 first-round draft pick out of South Carolina known for his strong country drawl has been targeted 15 times this season but has just four catches for 8 yards and no touchdowns for the winless Panthers. That comes after Legette had 49 catches for 497 yards and four TDs as a rookie.

“I'm trying to stay to the course and keep pushing,” Legette said. “The storm don't last forever. Good days are coming.”

Legette will look to turn things around on Sunday in the Panthers home opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

49ers Named Top Trade Partner for Massive 2024 1st-Round WR

The San Francisco 49ers are currently 2-0, but those paying close attention know that the team’s wide receivers room is already hanging by a thread.

Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t suited up yet while he works back from the knee injury that shelved him last year, Jauan Jennings has been hobbling through the injury report and Demarcus Robinson isn’t available thanks to a suspension.

That’s left Kyle Shanahan leaning heavily on second-year wideout Ricky Pearsall while patching together a group that includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kendrick Bourne and Skyy Moore.

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report has Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette as one of his top 10 trade candidates heading into Week 3, and he named the 49ers a top trade partner.
