The 23-year-old Carolina Panthers rookie appeared on the Tuesday, December 10, episode of “St. Brown Podcast” and made the unexpected revelation about what he likes to eat.
After podcast hosts Amon-Ra25 and Equanimeous St. Brown28, asked Leggett about his “hottest food,” when it comes to “something weird” he likes to eat, the athlete revealed that a certain type of animal makes it onto his dinner plate.
“I eat a raccoon,” Leggett shared with NFL receivers.
Then the visibly shocked St. Brown brothers asked him to clarify what he meant.
“Like a raccoon you see in the trash can,” Leggett said. “I’m hunting him. I kill him. I peel them. Cook them. Eat them. All this.”
Leget added that the last time he dined on a raccoon was on thanksgiving day and a shared understanding of what meat tastes like.
“Everybody’s trying to stay, things taste like chicken,” Leggett said. “But a raccoon has its own taste.”
The rookie shared that he doesn’t like to eat just raccoon. According to the sports star, squirrel and rabbit are also often included in his home menu.

In November, Leggett took to social media to talk about his family’s plans for their Thanksgiving feast.
While many Americans traditionally enjoy eating turkey on the holiday, Leggett said raccoon is in the cards for him.
“Man, what I’m most excited to eat today would be this raccoon,” he said via an Instagram story posted on Thanksgiving.
“My cousin called me last night and told me they killed the raccoon two days ago. They stripped him and everything – washed him. Yes, we’re going to dive into that today.
Celebrities aren’t always like us. While cereal, milk and strawberries are fairly common kitchen staples, some stars have gone decades without ever trying them. For example, Kylie Jenner’s first experience with cereal and milk happened in September 2018, when the entrepreneurial reality star was 21 years old. Although cereals and milk (…)
It is not the first time that the football rookie has made noise with his views on food.
After a Panthers practice in Munich, Germany in November, Legette sampled some authentic German sausages in a fun video for RTL Sport.
“Should I cook it?” he cheerfully asked of the sausages before taking a bite.
Legette also had some thoughts on chicken wings as he reviewed the German offerings.
In the video, he admitted that he was used to “a different juice than barbecue sauce.”
“I had chicken wings earlier,” he said. “It tasted a little different.”
