Summary
Mullins, South Carolina — Panthers receiver Xavier Legette brought teammates including quarterback Bryce Young to his hometown before the 2026 season, giving them a firsthand look at the community that shaped him.
Legette said the visit mattered most because residents could meet "other faces" beyond him, calling it meaningful for Marion County, where he said he is among the first from the area to reach his position.
The day highlighted Legette’s country lifestyle — horses, fishing and a town trail ride — and even included local food, with some teammates trying raccoon while Young left before it was served.
The trip also fed into a Pepsi-Bojangles content campaign tied to Legette’s horse Dime Piece and a Bojangles Bite Box launching Oct. 1 in limited-edition Halloween packaging.
