Xavier Legette, Bryce Young connection growing week-by-week

Legette, the first round pick out of South Carolina, entered Sunday’s game as Carolina’s leading receiver this season. The 23-year-old has hauled in 37 receptions for 393 yards and four touchdowns, establishing a solid connection of late with second-year quarterback Bryce Young.

Though drops have been an issue for Legette, the Panthers look to have at the very least a solid contributor for their offense going forward.

“I definitely trust [Xavier]; I trust all of our receivers,” Young said in October. “In this league, it’s a lot of bang-bang plays, a lot of tight windows, and tough throws.”
