Seeing yourself in a video game—and in one of the world’s most legendary franchises, at that—has to be a surreal experience. And for Carolina Panthers rookie Xavier Legette, his experience proved to be exactly that . . . but maybe not in a good way.
The 23-year-old wide receiver just came across his face scan from Madden NFL 25,the popular EA Sports title set to release in a little over two month’s time. That preview came courtesy of an Instagram post from Panthers Statement, which Legette carried over to his own story with what seems to be a stamp of non-approval . . .
Perhaps the “likeness” is not to his liking, but at least Legette can take some solace in the fact that his scan comes nowhere close to some of the atrocities we’ve seen in the past.
Just ask former Panthers guard Deonte Brown . . .
Or franchise great Greg Olsen, who was defaced twice . . .
So, yeah, it’s not all that bad, Xavier.
