CHARLOTTE, N.C. — UPDATE: The press conference has ended. You can watch Xavier Legette's remarks here.
The Carolina Panthers will be holding a press conference Friday to welcome Xavier Legette to the team after being picked in Thursday's NFL Draft.
The Carolina Panthers selected wide receiver Xavier Legette from South Carolina after trading up one spot in the NFL draft to get into the bottom of the first round, giving quarterback Bryce Young another weapon in the passing game.
Legette gives the Panthers another option to go along with Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen, and last year’s second-round pick, Jonathan Mingo.
Legette was the seventh wide receiver taken in the first round.
