The Carolina Panthers invested a lot in Xavier Legette at No. 32 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Things haven't gone according to plan, and the wide receiver has now been firmly supplanted as a starting option by an undrafted free agent upstart.

Coker's been a revelation in recent weeks after starting the campaign on injured reserve.
