Strengths

Extremely well-built and muscular frame. Very thick lower half. Extremely strong. Explosive leaping ability and able to hang in the air. Tremendous ability to play above the rim. Great high pointing the ball. Shields defenders off down the field with his size. Excellent catch focus reaching for high throws. Attacks the ball with his hands down the field. Outstanding speed and pulls away from defenders with the ball in his hands. Very smooth catching passes in stride and turning into a runner. Great balance to tightrope the sideline. Will take it the distance on drag routes. Big and effective target on deeper in-breaking routes. Shows separation burst when cutting on deeper routes. Works back to the ball. Tough to take a hit and hang on. Can go to the ground to secure low passes. Gets his feet down on high throws along the boundary. Good crispness on comeback routes. Used on screens and pop passes to get the ball in his hands. Has experience both on the outside and in the slot. Has seen snaps in the backfield. Quality blocker with the size/strength to be better.

 

Weaknesses

Has general stiffness in his hips. Can struggle to get off clean releases versus press coverage. Allows himself to be knocked off the tracks by contact. Routes get disrupted too easily by others in his path. Doesn’t finish enough routes at full speed. Vertical cuts appear a bit predictable. Needs to learn how to attack off coverage more consistently. Not as effective bringing in lower contested catches. Has some focus drops with defenders close or closing in. Less of a threat when he catches the ball stationary rather than on the run. Could be better working to get open on broken plays.

Conclusion

Overall, Legette is a strong and explosive wideout with tremendous big-play ability down the field and with the ball in his hands. The stiffness and issues as a route runner might be concerning, but he can be an impact player in the right situation.
