Panthers WR Xavier Legette hilariously reveals he decided to lay low after drop vs. Eagles

Panthers WR Xavier Legette thought it was best to lay low after Sunday’s brutal drop against the Eagles.

Carolina Panthers rookie wideout Xavier Legette pulled off a veteran move following his team’s Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 2024 first-round pick appeared on Wednesday’s episode of The St. Brown Podcast, hosted by fellow NFL receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown. Legette, unsurprisingly, was led into talking about Sunday’s brutal drop on what could have been the game-winning 32-yard touchdown—his biggest blunder as a pro.

But Legette didn’t let that mistake snowball into a few more . . .

(Warning: The following clip contains explicit language.)

While the St. Browns didn’t seem to buy it, Legette told reporters after the game that he initially believed he completed the catch.

“I thought I caught that,” he said. “Then I just watched the video, they just put the replay up, I ain’t know it hit the ground.”

Well, maybe Legette can schedule another trip to see Rod Wave—because it apparently worked wonders for his quarterback.

Did Rod Wave actually save Bryce Young’s career? Here’s what the Panthers QB said about his talk with the rapper . . .

What did Rod Wave tell Panthers QB Bryce Young? Young revealed on Wednesday that he did, in fact, speak to the pioneer of trap-soul.

We may be able to attribute the recent breakout of Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young to a number of hypotheses.

Did his benching provide him with a much-needed step back? Did the break afford him the chance to really watch and learn the NFL game from the sideline? Or could something have just simply clicked?

While those are all viable thoughts—none are more intriguing than the Rod Wave theory. Yup, the Rod Wave theory.

While Young was still riding the pine behind veteran Andy Dalton, recording artist Rod Wave posted the following to his Instagram story . . .

Young would regain his starting status soon after, as he was inserted back into the lineup beginning in Week 8. And the rest, of course, seems to be turning into history.

Before the Instagram story, Young passed for 122.5 yards per game, zero touchdowns and three interceptions while leading the Panthers to an 0-2 start. After it, he’s averaged 216.4 passing yards a contest with seven total scores and three picks over a 2-3 mark.

So, inquiring minds have wanted to know, did Rod Wave actually talk to Young? And if so, did he actually save his career?

Panthers beat writer Sheena Quick asked Young for us on Wednesday . . .

Well, whatever Rod Wave told him, Young no longer seems to be on his last lap in Carolina anymore.
