Noting that ESPN has Xavier Legette at #31 on their updated big board post combine.
I'm a career salesperson, I regularly see folks who are in the wrong situation change to a new manager, team, comp structure, geography, life partner, or whatever and they become highly productive. There are a lot of variables that could've contributed to his lack of production that we're not privy to so folks are naturally skeptical. I'm not holding it against him, but I'd like to hear how he articulates his growth and jouney to overcame whatever challenges he faced. Sent a IG DM and an email to his publicist for us from Chiefsplanet.com lol, would be a lot of fun if he responds. So far I've heard that he's converted from QB, had some family issues, and trained relentlessly in the offseason to make a push for the NFL his 5th year.
If you consider a younger guy like Keon Coleman, who produced what ~650 yards last season in college, he really hasn't broken out yet at all. Sure, he's displayed a much higher floor but Legette has the "hot hand" now and is potentially demonstrating he's ready to make an impact sooner than other WRs in this draft. He's at least "broken out" on the college platform which you can't say for all of the top 15 WRs. Some have pedestrian numbers. ****ing Ladd McConkey only had 480 yards last season and people are suggesting he go in the first round!? WTF!?
