Xavier Legette stunned fans over the weekend as he appeared at the Kentucky Derby even more bulked up than usual.

The 6-foot-3 wide receiver, who was taken No. 32 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, was listed as weighing 227 pounds for his rookie year.

But the Carolina Panthers player looks to have gotten even bigger, as judging from a recent interview with Kay Adams.

Legette’s lavender-colored suit fit extremely tightly around his arms, and fans took to social media to comment on the wideout’s apparent muscle gain.

‘Bro … what THE F** is XL eating lol My dawg HUGE now,’ one wrote.

‘Legette looks like a Linebacker!… scary WR squad in Carolina this year!,’ another added.

‘Holy hell XL is a monster,’ a third added.

And a fourth fan asked, ‘XL bench pressing like 450 right now?’

Legette, a South Carolina native, has previously gone viral for his thick country accent and unorthodox diet.

The South Carolina native has opened up about his love of eating squirrel and raccoon, and even once brought raccoon meat to the Panthers locker room for his teammates to try.

The receiver will be looking to build on a productive rookie season for the Panthers after he caught 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.

After going 5-12 last season, the Panthers further addressed their wide receiver position by taking Tetairoa McMillan with the eighth overall pick.

Speaking to Adams at the Kentucky Derby, Legette revealed he hadn’t yet reached out to his new teammate, but for a good reason. 

‘I didn’t want to text him yet,’ he said. ‘I want to talk to him when he comes in and build that relationship with him.’
