With a preferred celebration for his career’s first-ever touchdown already decided before Week 4’s game, and additional opportunities certain to be headed his way, Carolina Panthers rookie receiver Xavier Legette knew that only one crucial step remained. Presented with the opportunity to take that step — and a few others, before the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense could react — Legette sped off into an across-the-field route, quickly positioning himself for a milestone, eight-yard score. Solidifying himself as a bright spot during the high-scoring battle of cats on Sept. 29, 2024, Legette shined, recording six catches (on 10 targets) for 66 yards and a touchdown during the 34-24 loss.
