As for his professional journey, the Panthers traded up for Legette via the Buffalo Bills, snagging him with the 32nd pick in a talent-heavy draft. In that same round, he followed esteemed receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers among others.
Legette’s rookie season showcased promise despite some ups and downs, finishing with 49 catches, 497 yards, and four touchdowns. With the Panthers adding talented Arizona wideout Tetairoa McMillan with the No. 8 pick, Legette is poised for more opportunities and could capitalize on them to enhance his game in his sophomore year.
