The NFL pranked its rookies, and no one knew what was coming

We must protect Xavier Legette at all costs.

The NFL isn’t exactly known as being a league that’s big on having fun, but recent events have changed that. On Tuesday night the league released a video of rookies around the league, all of whom were told they were being filmed for entirely different reasons.

Xavier Legette of the Panthers was told he was filming a video about his skin care regimen
Caleb Williams of the Bears thought he was filming an “outfit of the day” video
Ladd McConkey of the Chargers believed he was doing the “breathe out and yell challenge”
J.J. McCarthy of the Vikings thought he was being asked to sing Happy Birthday to an NFL employee
Ricky Pearsall of the Niners was convinced he was asked about his hair care routine
Ja’Tavion Sanders of the Panthers thought he was competing in a dinosaur noise competition

These were all hilarious, but let’s be real: Nothing tops Xavier Legette and it’s not even close. Our perfect, pure, country angel baby was quick to extol the virtues of Cetaphil face wash, and Cetaphil lotion — and that pause before throwing in the “as well” is one of the funniest moments we’ve seen in a long time.

It’s only a matter of time before the Panthers’ rookie gets that endorsement deal from Cetaphil, and it will be so worth it. To be honest, I just want Xavier Legette to do every single ad for every product in America. I want him telling me about a new show airing on FX. I want him to sell me on why I should eat Captain Crunch for breakfast. Heck, I want him reading the entire list of side effects for a drug that treats Chronic Plaque Psoriasis. I would watch anything this man puts into the world.

Kudos to the NFL for putting out something that’s actually fun and doesn’t make the league take itself too seriously.
