Legette was at the Kentucky Derby this weekend and dressed the part in a suit.

He sat down for an interview with FanDuel host Kay Adams.

And fans couldn’t believe how much the Panthers receiver has bulked up.

Legette’s biceps almost bulged through his suit during the interview.

It was in complete contrast to the leaner figure fans saw during the 2024 season

“What the f*** is he eating lol,” one fan wrote. “My dawg HUGE now.”

Another said, “Legette looks like a Linebacker.”

While a third claimed, “Holy hell, XL is a monster.”

Legette was a first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

He finished his rookie season with 497 yards and four touchdowns.

But Legette’s standout moment came in the locker room over Christmas.

The 24-year-old caught the attention of his teammates and media with his diet.

He brought in some holiday leftover food to share around.

But the meat he brought in was raccoon.

“The raccoon is regular to me,” he said.

“I’ve been eating that since I came out.

“I don’t eat the bell peppers and all that extra stuff like that.

“That stuff is too exotic.”

Legette seemingly enjoyed the food on offer at the Kentucky Derby.

He posted a video on Instagram trying some of the options available.

And the wide receiver added the caption, “Kentucky Derby food is no joke.

“Chefs keeping me right all weekend.”
