Panthers WR Xavier Legette may be taking another sport by storm
The legend of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette continues to grow.
On Wednesday, the second-year pass catcher attended Game 5 of the NHL's Eastern Conference Finals between the Florida Panthers and the hometown Carolina Hurricanes. Legette, thanks to Bleacher Report, was mic'd up for the occasion—and he did not disappoint.
Check it out:
Legette's fun-filled offseason also featured a stop at Churchill Downs, where he served as a correspondent for the NFL during the 151st Kentucky Derby. Needless to say, his lovable personality and passion for horses made him one of the stars in Louisville earlier this month.
Oh, and he might have won over the crowd at the Lenovo Center as well . . .
Unfortunately for Legette and the Caniacs, the Hurricanes dropped the game and the series in a 5-3 loss. But hey, at least some kind of Panther—albeit the one from Miami—came out with a win.

Travis Kelce Says He and Taylor Swift Are ‘Having Fun' as a Couple, Not Looking for ‘Attention'
Travis Kelce loves doing life with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift — and swears they're not chasing the spotlight. On Tuesday, July 1, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, was a guest on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast — hosted by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan — where he discussed his very public relationship with the pop star, also 35. 'We're having fun with it, man, being a couple. It gets thrown out there like we're trying to seek attention every now and then,' he admitted. 'We're just enjoying life and having fun going to hockey games, kinda introducing her to some more of the sports world.' Kelce added that he had 'fun' attending Game 4 of the NHL's Stanley Cup Final with the 14-time Grammy Award winner last month. Fans posted photos and videos on social media of the couple displaying some PDA while watching the Florida Panthers take on the Edmonton Oilers at Amerant Bank Arena in Florida. The three-time Super Bowl champion also admitted on the podcast episode that it has taken him some time to get used to the amount of cameras following him. 'It's just the paparazzi, that's probably the only thing I didn't really grasp until you're in it. That's probably the craziest part,,' he shared. 'Like, I'm just playing golf, and all of a sudden, in the trees, there's a f**king guy with a camera. Like, oh s**t, I got to go to the restroom now. I can't just go over here and take a piss.' Kelce further joked that he doesn't want his 'meat on Page Six.' The A-list couple has been out and about frequently in recent months. They were most recently photographed hand in hand on a date night in New York City on Saturday, June 28. Before that, on Tuesday, June 24, Swift gave a surprise performance of her hit song 'Shake it Off' during Kelce's annual Tight Ends and Friends concert at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. They have also been spotted around Florida as Kelce prepares for the upcoming NFL season in training camp. They were photographed leaving a restaurant in Palm Beach in June and were spotted dining in West Palm Beach in May. As Star previously reported in May, Kelce has been planning how he wants to ask for Swift's hand in marriage. 'He wants the proposal to be unforgettable, like something out of a movie,' a source explained. 'He knows Taylor's had some pretty romantic moments in her life, and he wants to top them.'

Panthers QB Bryce Young speaks on building chemistry with WR Hunter Renfrow
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young seems to be enjoying his front-row seat for the comeback of wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. Young hit the lectern following his team's first practice session of training camp on Wednesday. He was asked about Renfrow, who caught quite a few nice passes from Young during the opening outing. "He has such a great feel for the game," Young told reporters. "Versus man, versus zone—he just has a great knack for getting open. He understands concepts. Understands defensive leverage. Does a really good job at the top of routes, creating separating, giving indicators. Really friendly and easy to throw to as a quarterback. So, super excited to build chemistry with him." Renfrow, a Pro Bowler in 2021, missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a battle with ulcerative colitis. He spent the prior five seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders—amassing 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. A Myrtle Beach, S.C. native and Clemson University product, Renfrow stayed local this offseason—signing with the Panthers on a one-year deal back in April.
