The Carolina Panthers' wide receiver room is buzzing, but who's truly ready to break out? In this deep dive, we break down the compelling case for Jalen Coker to outshine first-round pick Xavier Legette in the 2025 NFL season.

We'll compare their 2024 rookie stats, revealing Coker's surprising efficiency (14.94 yards per reception and only 1 drop!) against Legette's volume-based production (10.1 yards per reception and 8 drops). Then, we'll analyze their 2025 preseason performances, highlighting Coker's incredible physical transformation and consistent play that has earned him high praise from Coach Dave Canales.

But it's not all smooth sailing for Legette. We'll discuss his preseason disciplinary issues, including his ejection for fighting, and how Coach Canales' comments reveal concerns about his in-game composure, despite his dedication to improving drops.

Discover why Coker's disciplined approach, special teams versatility, and consistent growth make him the more reliable and impactful target for Bryce Young. Is the undrafted gem about to become the Panthers' true WR1?
