Carolina Panthers Rookie Xavier Legette Shares Leftover Raccoon Meat with Teammates
For many, leftover food is a staple of the holiday season. But for Carolina Panthers rookie Xavier Legette, leftover raccoon meat is a different story altogether. The South Carolina native recently brought a container of cooked raccoon meat to the locker room, offering it to his teammates and members of the media who were brave enough to try it.
Legette’s love affair with raccoon meat is nothing new. In November, he went on the “St. Brown Podcast” with Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown, where he discussed his hottest food take. “I hunt it. I kill it. I skin ’em. Cook ’em. Eat ’em. All that,” he said.
What’s surprising is the things Legette won’t eat, like vegetables, including bell peppers. “I don’t eat the bell peppers and all that extra stuff like that… That stuff is too exotic,” he told reporters. “The [raccoon] is regular to me. I’ve been eating that since I came out.”
The Panthers will face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but for now, Legette is focused on sharing his unique culinary delights with his teammates.
