Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\nBehind him is former first-rounder Xavier Worthy, who was selected just four spots ahead of Legette in 2024. Worthy has yet to establish himself as a reliable threat, having scored just one touchdown in 2025.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas Raiders<\/p>\n
The Raiders, with first-year head coach Klint Kubiak and 2026 first overall pick Fernando Mendoza, are starting fresh. So perhaps an entirely new slate would serve Legette well.<\/p>\n
He wouldn’t have too much competition to deal with, either\u2014as the team’s wideout room is currently headlined by Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor and Jack Bech.<\/p>\n
Like Las Vegas, Miami is starting from square one on the sidelines and under center.<\/p>\n
But if they want to figure out if Malik Willis is really their guy at the quarterback position, they’ll need to equip him with more than what they have. Their top receivers\u2014following the departures of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle\u2014now include Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell.<\/p>\n
Washington Commanders<\/p>\n
Legette’s build, skill set and alma mater had drawn him some early comparisons to fellow South Carolina Gamecock Deebo Samuel. Samuel, still a free agent, doesn’t appear to be headed back to Washington after a solid 2025 showing.<\/p>\n
If the Commanders are looking to fill the void and add some more potential behind Terry McLaurin, Legette could be a decent roll of the dice.<\/p>\n
