The Carolina Panthers are finalizing their draft board just three days before the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite not having a first-round pick this year due to a previous trade, the Panthers are confident that they will be able to land South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Legette with the 33rd overall pick. Legette himself has expressed that the Panthers have promised to take him if he is still available at that spot.
Legette’s impressive performance in the 2023 season, where he recorded 1,255 receiving yards, has put him on the Panthers’ radar. He showcases his athleticism with a 4.39-second 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical jump at the NFL Scouting Combine. Known for his ability to make plays after the catch, Legette is seen as a valuable addition to the Panthers’ line-up. While he may need to work on his intermediate route-running, the Panthers are eager to bring in this local talent and help him develop further.
The 2024 NFL Draft is set to take place in Detroit from April 25-27. For more coverage on the draft, be sure to visit CBSSports.com for updated draft order, mock drafts, and detailed analysis of the prospects available for selection.
