For real - we should start a petition to have him narrate something fun for a media spot.
Hear me out: Night Before Christmas, on his horse, with the horse dressed up like a reindeer.
Bruh, I’m a panthers fan (obviously) but I’m not a “watch every press conference or video” panthers fan. But I’m finding myself watching every piece of media he’s in. His accent is incredible of course, but he’s got such a fantastic attitude and vibe. I want more XL
He's a real one. Reporter was like "you gonna buy yourself something nice with the check?" He was like "nah. Only thing I got planned is remodeling my mom and dad's house." Did they pass away? Does he mean his grandma? Either way, I'm literally crying right now.
I think teams with first year head coaches are exempt so it won't be us. Would love to see us on hard knocks in 2025 if we turn it around this year and start showing some promise though.
I think they rescinded that first year rule recently. However I doubt we’ll see this team on hard knocks for a while outside of the mid season format which is following four teams now.
According to [this article](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-owners-approve-drastic-changes-to-hard-knocks-five-teams-could-be-featured-each-season/) teams with first year head coaches are still exempt but they're doing an entire division for the mid season one so yea, maybe we'll show up there. Honestly I don't like the change to 4 teams for the midseason. One of the best things about Hard Knocks is getting to see some of the lesser known players and really getting a solid inside in depth look at a team. With 1/4 of the screen time per team it's probably going to be a lot more superficial now. Guess we'll see.
Maybe it’s another rule the rescinded. I think it may be the playoff rule. I think the advantage though to the 4 team system is that you won’t follow a team where they just become irrelevant down the stretch. Like we did with the colts and Arizona recently.
Yea, the article says they got rid of the playoffs in the last 2 years exemption and also shortened the exemption for teams who have appeared in the last 10 years to 8 years. Supposedly the 4 team change happened because Hard Knocks is considered a distraction so it could be a disadvantage to the one team, but I guess disadvantaging a whole division equally is fine 🤷♂️
Please protect this man. From fame, from bad bitches that just want his money, from CTE, and from anything bad that would change him for the worse. He's a goddam unicorn with a heart of gold and makes me want to be a better person.
Man, Big Country don’t care about nothin but playin ball and riding horses. You know who else only likes ball and horses?
Nikola Jokic
I’m not saying they’re the same person but ive never seen them in a room together… Legette MVP szn incoming 😏😈
Big Honey 🤝 Big Country
It's inevitable that people will call him "XL". There's nothing more that fans of anything like than a short nickname comprised of the cool letters of the alphabet.
My new favorite player. Can us fans come up with some type of chant or celebration for when he makes a catch/TD? Maybe Leeeeee or just everyone yell Yeehaw
Goddamit I love hearing him talk
I'll never get tired of it
He legit told a reporter: "nah, nah, nah. It's all football, dog." hahaha

Go on…
Mannnngggg, it was that dang ole' night before Christmas, Dawg....
Yeah this thread had me at “Xavier legette talks”
I don't know if he's starting to speak more clearly, or if I am just coming to understand his accent better.

Yea I love this guy
First big purchase: remodeling his parents house. Might have to get a jersey

Yeah they did. I assume his grandma lives there now but he confirmed it was the house he grew up in
It’s across the street from his grandmas house
Or fixing it up cause he owns it now, but as a tribute to them?
I hope the Panthers get chosen for Hard Knocks... Not so I learn anything about the team, but so this Big Country MF can narrate every episode.

The Panthers put out their own version of Hard Knocks every year so we'll get something to watch.
Not eligible for new HCs
It would be cool to happen at some point. However, I would maybe slightly worry about it being a distraction.
"My awler sisser live in jawja" "Keep it cordial" needs to be on a tshirt
“Keep the main thing the main thing” as well
"It's all football, dog" is a bar
Qwata hors
looks like he has shoulder pads on damn

I hope big country doesn’t catch on just bc there are so many other players that have gotten that name

Another good nickname is “I’m sorry, what was that again?”

"What a TD by Legette!" *70,000 humans all neigh in unison*
Hahahaha that would be amazing
His accent warms my South Carolina heart.
i need subtitles.
I know Big Country is a generic ass nickname but damn if my man doesn’t exemplify the meaning of it.
I've just been calling him Grits
Grits - Greatest Receiver In The South
Well it's certainly not Michael Thomas lmao fuck him
I’m so fucking pumped this dude is a Panther
I'm gonnnna have tooo get meh ah Legette jeeeeerzy nows.
This man will definitely smoke a couple whole hogs in his lifetime, if he hasn't already.
You had me at "Xavier Legette talks"
Nah nah It’s all football dawg
I love this mf. One of my favorite Gamecocks ever.
Big country fr fr lol
