Will Legette be “red shirted” this year?

One thing is for sure, we all seem to agree Legette isn’t ready to make an impact and probably needs more time to develop. I’m not calling him a bust, yes I would have preferred the Panthers select a different WR because there were many that were obviously more pro ready than Legette, but I’m not going to call the guy a bust before he’s even taken a regular season snap yet. But he probably needs at least half a season to get acclimated. If Mingo struggles to make an impact once the games start to matter, I hope Legette is ready.

Legette has been having a slow start to his rookie year. He’s probably 4th or 5th on the depth chart at this point and didn’t really make an impact in the preseason or training camp. 

I have a feeling the Panthers might try to open up a roster spot for a special teams player like ISM or David Moore by stashing Legette on IR with a mysterious practice injury to start his rookie year while he has more time to adjust to the pro game. Legette had limited play time in college and probably isn’t quite ready to compete at the pro level.

They passed on more pro ready WRs to pick Legette so they have to eat this one until he’s ready. 

He was a 5th year Sr.  If he can't get pro ready this season then he isn't going to.

This is why you don't draft older raw prospects. If you're gonna draft a raw prospects, he better be young. When a guy is older and still raw it isn't enticing "upside", it's a massive red flag of why this guy isn't more polished with his age and experience playing high major college football.

DJ Johnson about to have 15 sacks this year and make you look silly.  Laser eyes.

He’s nit gonna be a superstar in year 1.  

Tank Dell was basically a superstar last year and he was a 3rd round pick. With our WR drafting record aside from Steve Smith and DJ Moore I'm not getting my hopes up. Especially for a guy that will be 28 when playing on his 5th year option if he is decent. That second contract situation for a first round pick isn't ideal even if he turns out to be good

1st round pick should not be WR 4 on this miserable squad. I would expect more than that. There were 2 better prospects there for us when we took him. 

But I think they were willing to risk a bit of a raw first round pick (yes,  I know) in hopes they he develops into that generational talent. The kid has all the goods. Jerry Rice struggled big time his rookie year, keep that in mind.

It's the modern mindset unfortunately. If they aren't completely developed into Jerry Rice by first day of training camp or day 1 of regular season then they must be a bust.

Jerry Rice struggled mightily in his rookie year. Looked very raw. Watch the documentary on him. He was a jag his rookie year.

927 yards and 3 td's on 49 catches his first year rookie is a jag? That's like the numbers average of DJ Moores first 3 years with way less receptions lol.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
