Despite his early struggles, including a performance that left much to be desired, Tetairoa McMillan, another rookie on the team, has come to Legette’s defense. McMillan, who has made a strong start to his NFL career, was quick to praise Legette's confidence in the face of adversity. "I know he's going to show up on Sunday," McMillan said, echoing the locker room's faith in the young receiver.
But it’s not just about practice or confidence anymore. For Legette, it’s time to prove his worth in the heat of the regular season. The Panthers can’t afford to see another high draft pick fall short. Legette knows this and seems ready to take the next step.
Coach Dave Canales has kept Legette on the field, providing him with chances to make plays. However, the stakes are higher now. If Legette continues to underperform, his opportunities may dwindle, and the Panthers will need to reassess their strategy.

Tom Brady SLAMS Conflict-of-Interest Claims: “This Is a Non-Issue—People Are Just Looking for Drama”
In a fiery response to the growing whispers about a potential conflict of interest, Tom Brady has hit back at critics who question his dual role as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and a Fox Sports broadcaster. Brady, who has become a lightning rod for controversy since his involvement with the Raiders, is making it clear that the allegations are baseless and designed to stir drama.
“They’re trying to make something out of nothing,” Brady said, addressing the growing backlash. “The truth is, I’m focused on helping my team and doing my job as a broadcaster. I’m not creating any conflicts—I’m just doing what I’ve been asked to do. This is a non-issue.”
Brady’s remarks come in the wake of heated debates surrounding his presence in the Raiders’ coaching booth, which some claim could lead to an unfair advantage or undue influence. However, Brady insists that his involvement is completely separate from his broadcasting duties, and that the focus should be on the game—not unfounded speculation.
“People are just looking for drama,” Brady continued. “I’ve always been open about my roles, and there’s no conflict. If the league thought there was an issue, they’d address it. I’m not worried about any of that—I’m focused on what’s best for the Raiders, and that’s all that matters to me.”
Brady’s words are sure to inflame the ongoing debate, with many questioning whether the NFL will take action to clarify the boundaries between ownership and broadcasting. But for Brady, it’s clear: the drama surrounding his involvement with the Raiders is just that—drama. He’s not backing down, and he’s confident in his ability to contribute without crossing any lines.
