Panthers WR Xavier Legette becomes spokesperson for skincare brand after viral video

Carolina Panthers rookie Xavier Legette continues to take social media by storm.

Thanks to his endearing personality and remarkably unique Southern accent, the 23-year-old wide receiver has gained quite a few fans since being selected with the 32nd overall pick of the 2024 draft in April. His following grew even stronger earlier this month, after he recorded this viral clip with the NFL’s Shannon Domingsil at the annual Rookie Premiere:

Well, Cetaphil was listening.

Legette, now a Cetaphil partner, recently hit the streets of Charlotte to promote the cause. He shared some of the results from the mission, posting this video to his Instagram page on Friday:

Legette has joked about the attention his accent is receiving since becoming a pro. The day after he was drafted, the Mullins, S.C. native told local reporters that he was very aware of his newfound popularity.

“Oh yeah, they’ve been draggin’ it all over social media. They’ve been dragging it all over social media,” Legette said with a smile. “I love social media, man. I just tell folks—they really ain’t just never heard nobody talk from Mullins.”

But regardless of where we’re from, we should all agree that skin care is self-care!
