It sounds like Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette could be in for a big year if he lives up to a lofty comparison.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Tuesday that "some scouts see similarities" between Legette and Seattle Seahawks star receiver DK Metcalf, who excelled under former Seahawks offensive assistant and newly-hired Panthers head coach Dave Canales.
"Not quite the athlete Metcalf is but he's got some game-breaking ability like that, and he can do a little more with versatility as a runner and pass-catcher," an NFL personnel evaluator told Fowler.
At 6'3" and 227 pounds, Legette has a similar size to Metcalf, who stands at 6'4" and 225 pounds.
