Panthers WR Xavier Legette honors his horse, Dolla Bill, with touchdown celebration vs. Broncos
Panthers wideout Xavier Legette has a country twang when you hear him speak. And it shouldn’t be surprising to learn that the Panthers rookie has a strong affinity for horses. So, when the former South Carolina star hauled in a touchdown pass on Sunday, he had to honor his horse, Dolla Bill.
It’s always fun to see another touchdown celebration. And thankfully, the NFL has relaxed their rules on touchdown celebrations in recent years. It makes the game more fun for players and fans.
The Panthers lost to the Broncos 28-14 on Sunday, with Legette hauling in four catches for 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Xavier Legette had a breakout year last year at South Carolina
In Legette’s first four seasons with South Carolina, he recorded 42 receptions for 423 yards and five touchdowns. But last season he went on an absolute tear catching 71 passes for 1,255 and seven touchdowns, becoming the team’s primary receiver following an injury to Juice Wells. Earning Second-Team All-SEC honors from the league’s coaches and media members and First-Team selections from three different publications.
