Xavier Legette Summary:

The Positives

  • Offers versatility as an inside outside receiver and in the return game
  • Truly game breaking spread
  • Very physical as a receiver 
  • Pretty good route runner
  • Can be very difficult to bring down due to physicality and speed
  • Good hands
  • Fights through contact to make catches

The Negatives

  • On the older side for a prospect at 22 (23 come draft day)
  • Has dealt with injuries in his career
  • One true year of production

Xavier Legette may be the single biggest riser at wide receiver. Due to injuries and overall trying to learn the wide receiver position, he has taken longer to breakout. The big negative for Legette will be his age and injury history. However, what shows on film in his breakout season is truly a star. He has some of the top speed in this class, but in a 230 pound frame. He is very physical and a good enough route runner to make an impact early on. He has a lot of qualities similar to AJ Brown.
