With the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers selected cornerback Jaycee Horn out of South Carolina.
Horn exploded with 2 interceptions and 6 pass deflections in just seven games in 2020. A lengthy and physical boundary cornerback, he does a great job of jamming receivers at the line of scrimmage and using his hands to fight through a receiver’s stems.
He also showcases very good fluidity on tape, as well as the ball skills needed to contort himself towards the ball and box out the opposition at the catch point.
Sam Darnold now in tow, the Panthers have the guy they intend on taking a shot as being their franchise quarterback going forward. They decided to find a defensive anchor with their first-round pick, hoping that Horn will developed as their starting boundary cornerback going forward.
