Panthers star Xavier Legette shows true grit helping with friend's ATV stuck in muddy water
For Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette, that means enjoying the outdoors, even if it means helping a friend out in a muddy situation.
Legette went viral for helping a friend get an ATV out of muddy water he believed the vehicle could get through.
At first, Legette was trying to coach his friend out of the predicament, but when that didn't work, he jumped on to do things himself. Legette didn't hesitate a bit when he saw the situation getting even more sticky.
However, the video clip ends with Legette and his friend trying together to pull the blue ATV out of the mud without showing the end result.
Legette's wilderness adventures have been on full display since the South Carolina product entered the NFL as the Panthers' first-round selection last season. He went viral for numerous reasons, including his thick Southern accent that fans adore.
He's also been seen riding horses on his farm, especially "Dolla Bill," which he gives a nod to with his touchdown celebration that mimics riding a horse.
Legette had some great moments for the Panthers last season with 497 yards on 49 receptions and four touchdowns in his rookie year.
He hopes to build off his rookie campaign with a Panthers team that added to its wide receivers room in the first round again, this time nabbing Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona with the eighth overall pick in April.

Former Iowa football star tabbed Steelers' 2025 X-factor
Kaleb Johnson's 2024 season was one of the best by an Iowa running back in the Kirk Ferentz era. Johnson rushed for 1,537 yards, averaged 6.4 yards per carry and set single-season Iowa records for total points (138), total touchdowns (23) and rushing touchdowns (21). The Hamilton, Ohio, native was the main reason that Iowa's offense was even competent last season. Johnson's efforts saw him selected in the third-round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 6-foot-1, 224-pound back was the first Hawkeye running back to be drafted since Shonn Greene in the third-round of the 2009 NFL draft. The Steelers drafted Johnson to fill a hole left by former first-round pick Najee Harris, who departed for the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency. With so many storylines, free agency additions and trades, the addition of Johnson to the offense has received far less attention than it probably should. But not from Sports Illustrated writer Gilberto Manzano. In his "32 teams in 32 days" series, Manzano examined Pittsburgh's big moves and projections for the 2025 season. In the article, Manzano listed Johnson as the Steelers' breakout player candidate/X-factor. How the Steelers' offense takes shape in 2025 might hinge on Johnson's development. If the rookie third-round pick makes an immediate impact, that would allow the young offensive line to establish a rhythm early in games and take pressure off Rodgers, who struggled with mobility last season with the New York Jets. There's also the lack of depth at wide receiver behind Metcalf meaning the Steelers might depend heavily on Johnson emerging as a productive playmaker in his rookie year. - Manzano, Sports Illustrated It's unclear what exactly Johnson's role will be on the Steelers in 2025, as fan-favorite running back Jaylen Warren is still on the roster and figures to be the favorite to start. The Steelers should continue to run a two-back system like they did with Warren and Harris, which would get Johnson on the field early and often. Plus, when you add in Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers seem primed to have a run-first mentality, which favors fans who want to see Johnson get some run. Regardless of what exact role he has, the former Hawkeye star will get a chance to show what he can do in the NFL this season.

Where does Yahoo Sports rank Bills' Josh Allen among NFL's best QBs?
The Buffalo Bills have the defending NFL MVP on their roster heading into the 2025 season. Even so, Yahoo Sports is among those not considering him the top quarterback in football heading into next season. Advertisement Yahoo named their top-10 QBs heading into 2025 and despite Allen winning that honor, he's not at the top of the list. You'll only need one guess to know who is. Ahead of Allen is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. While it's hard to imagine anyone winning back-to-back MVP Awards, Allen could realistically rank ahead of Mahomes as of now. Instead, the Bills QB slots in at No. 2 overall but he's still ahead of plenty of other talented players at his position.
