At first, Legette was trying to coach his friend out of the predicament, but when that didn’t work, he jumped on to do things himself. Legette didn’t hesitate a bit when he saw the situation getting even more sticky.

Legette’s wilderness adventures have been on full display since the South Carolina product entered the NFL as the Panthers’ first-round selection last season. He went viral for numerous reasons, including his thick Southern accent that fans adore.

He’s also been seen riding horses on his farm, especially "Dolla Bill," which he gives a nod to with his touchdown celebration that mimics riding a horse. 

Legette had some great moments for the Panthers last season with 497 yards on 49 receptions and four touchdowns in his rookie year.
