2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about XAVIER LEGETTE:
South Carolina | HT: 6010 | WT: 221 | 40 time: 4.39 | Arm: 3178 | Hand: 0900 | Wing: 7712
Four-year starter. All-SEC in 2023. Leading up to his final season, Legette had 423 career yards and five touchdowns on 75 targets. He more than doubled all of those numbers last season alone. He led the SEC in yards per reception (17.9) among receivers with over 55 catches and ranked fourth in the conference in catches per game. To say he was a late bloomer would be an understatement. His unusual frame and play strength along with credible deep speed gives him a unique style that rarely comes across at the position. His ability to play from multiple alignments in addition to his contributions on special teams will give coaches a long list of potential usages at the next level with the ceiling of a solid number two receiver. Has standout traits that produced at a high level in the SEC and brings a sense of physicality to both the offense and special teams’ rooms that can be used all over the field. Big and strong. Gets defenders off him in a hurry, can play an alpha-style. Runs through contact after the catch. Will break tackles and shows the urgency to get upfield with the ball in his hands. Has enough long stride speed to get over and stay over the top. Can adjust to the ball in the air and high point. Shows some tightness and hitches as a route runner. Trips over his own feet and needs to hammer away at his techniques. Lacks repeatable fluidity. Separation underneath is tough to come by.
2023 Stats: 71-1255, 17.9 ypr, 7 TD, 10-213 KOR, 21.3 avg. OSR:7/33. Draft projection: 3rd/4th round
