Panthers’ 2021 Rookie Minicamp to Feature Draft Picks Xavier Legette, Jonathon Brooks and More
The Panthers made headlines last season by becoming the first team to have their entire draft class signed, with all seven picks under contract. This year, the rookie minicamp is set to begin on Friday, giving fans a chance to see the new players on the field for the first time.
Leading the draft class is first-round pick Xavier Legette, a talented receiver from South Carolina. He will be joined by second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, although he will not be participating in the minicamp as he continues to recover from an ACL tear.
Other picks joining Legette at practice include third-round linebacker Trevin Wallace, fourth-round tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, fifth-round cornerback Chau Smith-Wade, sixth-round defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy, and seventh-round linebacker Michael Barrett. This new class of players brings excitement and potential to the Panthers as they begin their journey in the NFL.
