Xavier Legette<\/a>‘s job with the Carolina Panthers<\/a> might be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

And at the moment, a video of him working out in the offseason doesn’t seem to be helping his cause.<\/p>\n

A video going somewhat viral has fans wondering if Legette isn’t in the best of shape, or if he’s lost a step:<\/p>\n

The reality is that this may already have been the case. Legette hasn’t lived up to the hype.<\/p>\n

This will be Legette’s third season in the NFL, and it’s a pivotal one.<\/p>\n

“Legette was a late college breakout drafted largely for his size\/speed profile,”\u00a0ESPN’s Ben Solak wrote<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month. “At first it looked like the Panthers’ receivers room would have plenty of space for his development — Legette was the Panthers’ leading target-getter as a rookie. But the emergence of undrafted free agent\u00a0Jalen Coker<\/a>\u00a0and subsequent drafting of 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year\u00a0Tetairoa McMillan<\/a>\u00a0pushed Legette down to No. 3 on the depth chart … and now\u00a0Chris Brazzell II\u00a0has entered the building.”<\/p>\n

Brazzell is a player a lot like Legette, at least in his on-paper profile. If he looks faster and better on the field, he could quickly push Legette aside.<\/p>\n

At this point, Legette might be one of those guys who needs to get a chance elsewhere, because it doesn’t necessarily seem like things will work out for him in Carolina.<\/p>\n
