Carolina Panthers wideout Xavier Legette has had another terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. In fact, it was almost a historic terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Despite being thrown to eight times in Sunday’s 27-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the second-year pass catcher recorded -2 receiving yards over one grab. That, per ESPN NFL analyst Benjamin Solak, is now just the second game in league history where a player finished with negative receiving yards on at least eight targets.
He is, however, the first wide receiver to accomplish that “feat.” The first such outing, as noted by Solak, belongs to former Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles—who had -6 receiving yards on eight targets in 2013.
Legette didn’t have much of a Week 1 either. The 2023 first-round pick turned in a sloppy regular-season debut last weekend, where he notched just 10 receiving yards on three catches in Carolina’s 26-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
