The Carolina Panthers’ first-round pick, Xavier Legette, has been going viral recently for his extremely strong southern accent. Many people first noticed it when he was first drafted and couldn’t get enough of it.
Recently, he attended the Week 1 matchup at South Carolina, his old school, where the broadcast team interviewed him about his experience in the NFL so far and his training camp. This time, though, everyone had very different comments about Legette’s accent.
“What exactly is funny? He was respectful , kind & very nice to the reporter. I don’t see anything funny besides a player answering questions,” one comment said.
“I watched the whole thing waiting for what was so funny.. he’s the funniest player because of his accent?” said another abut Legette’s accent.
“He didn’t say anything funny. He’s just talking with his usual country accent. You laughing at him not with him,” added a third.
“There is nothing funny about this video, unless you’ve never met someone from the south I guess,” a fourth added.
Based on these comments, it’s become very obvious that people think the media is going too far with Xavier’s accent and find it somewhat disrespectful.
Xavier Legette Is Set To Have A Big Rookie Season
The Panthers’ use of the No. 32 pick to keep Legette in Carolina could be their biggest move this offseason to fix the offense.
Carolina has completely revamped the wide receiver position by also trading for Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson and the two could create one of the more dynamic duos in the league.
Legette is currently the third receiver on the Panthers’ depth chart behind Johnson and Adam Thielen but could easily climb to two by the end of the season.

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.
After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.
“I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.
Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
