Panthers WR Xavier Legette might’ve been the real star of the 151st Kentucky Derby

Sovereignty might have ruled the day at the 151st Kentucky Derby, but the real star of the weekend was Carolina Panthers wideout Xavier Legette.

The 24-year-old receiver, in fact, has built up a pretty impressive stable of his own. Headlined by fan favorite “Dolla Bill,” Legette’s string is now up to a whopping 14 horses.

Here’s the best of Legette’s correspondence from the derby:
