Months of dedicated effort seem to have paid off, as reported by Bleacher Report, which recently recognized the Panthers as one of the most improved offensive units of the offseason. Specifically, they highlighted the addition of rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette, acquired through a trade for the team’s first-round draft pick.
According to David Kenyon, the Panthers traded for Diontae Johnson and selected Xavier Legette with their initial draft pick. While Legette’s college career was marked by inconsistency, there’s optimism that he could thrive in the NFL, given his physical prowess. Teaming up with Diontae Johnson presents opportunities for Legette to exploit one-on-one coverage situations and showcase his ability to make contested catches, a valuable asset for any NFL quarterback.
But the Panthers’ offensive upgrades extend beyond Legette. The team bolstered its offensive line by securing deals with Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis.
Carolina seems to be constructing a team with a focus on sustained success rather than immediate results. While it may take time for the players to gel under new head coach Dave Canales, there’s a possibility that the Panthers could surprise some opponents as the season unfolds.
