The NFL has just about 1,700 players in it’s league that make up all 32 NFL teams. During the off-season, these players can often times be seen spending time with family or friends, partying, or just living their life. However, one star decided to jump into action during a scary moment, and it was all captured on camera.

Xavier Legette has dominated opposing defenses with his speed, toughness, and athleticism. However, he is now putting those attributes for a different purpose:
It appears that Xavier Legette also remembered the iconic line from the Spider-Man franchise, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Legette, indeed, used his power to be responsible for another man in need.
A video has gone viral on X/Twitter of Legette helping a man stuck in the mud with an ATV. The location and identity of the man who needed Legette’s help aren’t known, but it’s nonetheless an entertaining video that will brighten your day.
Legette appears to hand his cellphone to a friend that’s filming the entire saga as it unfolds. The second-year wide receiver gives the man tips on how to get the ATV out, before finally deciding to hop in the mud and help his companion lift it out:
Here is the full video:

Three cheers for Legette, folks!
Last year, the Panthers traded up via the Buffalo Bills to select Legette with the No. 32 pick.
He was the seventh receiver taken in round one, behind Marvin Harrison Jr. (fourth overall to the Arizona Cardinals), Malik Nabers (sixth to the New York Giants), Rome Odunze (ninth to the Chicago Bears), Brian Thomas Jr. (23rd to the Jacksonville Jaguars), Xavier Worthy (28th to the Kansas City Chiefs) and Ricky Pearsall (31st to the San Francisco 49ers).
Xavier Legette Looks To Improve After Mediocre Rookie Year
n his rookie season, Legette finished with 49 receptions for 497 yards and four touchdowns. The Panthers used the No. 8 pick on promising Arizona wideout Tetairoa McMillan, so that should open up more opportunities for Legette to draw favorable matchups and improve in year two.
Legette and the Panthers will kick off their 2025 season on the road against Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 7.
