The Baltimore Ravens can find themselves a wide receiver reminiscent of Philadelphia Eagles’ Pro Bowler A.J. Brown if they make a dark-horse pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft by choosing South Carolina wideout Xavier Legette 30th overall.
Legette is the best dark-horse candidate for the Ravens, according to Jacob Camenker of The Sporting News. He thinks the Ravens could be tempted by “a bigger, more physical receiver like Legette to go with the smaller, faster Zay Flowers.”
Creating a size and speed tandem between Legette and Zay Flowers would make Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson-led passing game more versatile and explosive. Especially if Legette lived up to comparisons with three-time Pro Bowler Brown.

The comp comes from ESPN’s Turron Davenport. He believes “Legette (South Carolina) and Brown are eerily similar when it comes to their body movements and style of play. Both players are well-built receivers — Legette is 6-foot-1, 221 pounds, while Brown measured 6-foot, 226 pounds in 2019 — who have the strength to run through tackles and the speed to pull away from defenders for long gains. They both display tremendous ball skills to go up and make contested catches, as well.”
