Panthers WR Xavier Legette Featured on GloRilla's New Single Cover

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette is making headlines this offseason, not for drills or training, but for a surprising collaboration with rap star GloRilla. The rising NFL player appears on the cover art for GloRilla's upcoming single, "Typa," generating buzz both in the sports and music worlds.

GloRilla, the Memphis-born artist known for her breakout mixtape "Ehhthang Ehhthang" and debut album "Glorious," unveiled the single's cover on social media. The image shows Legette seated behind the rapper as she handles a stack of cash, instantly creating a buzz online.

Legette, drafted by the Panthers in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, had a promising rookie season. He recorded a team-leading 84 targets and 49 receptions, and finished second in receiving yards (497) and touchdowns (4) only to Adam Thielen. Expectations are high for his sophomore year.

The former South Carolina standout is anticipated to be a key component of the Panthers' offense in the upcoming 2025 season. He is projected to start alongside veteran Thielen and fellow first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan, creating a potentially potent receiving corps.

While some NFL players spend their offseasons training intensely or pursuing other hobbies, Legette's unexpected appearance on GloRilla's single cover showcases a different kind of ambition, blending the worlds of professional sports and popular music. "Typa" marks GloRilla's first single release since her album debut, adding to the excitement surrounding the collaboration.
