Just this past week, Carolina Panthers wideout Xavier Legette revealed on the Cleats and Convos with Deebo Samuel podcast that he’d hop on his horse when he scores his first NFL touchdown . . .
Need Xavier Legette in the end zone this week so we get this TD celebration 😆

Well, he delivered quite promptly on that proclamation.
The rookie receiver found the end zone for the first time in his pro career on Sunday, reeling in an 8-yard score from quarterback Andy Dalton. Legette’s touchdown helped knot the Week 4 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at 14 apiece.

The Panthers, thanks to a 66-yard touchdown drive from the Bengals to end the second quarter, would then go into the break down 21-14.
