Strap on your seatbelt, Jaycee Horn, you’re going to Orlando, Fla.!
The Carolina Panthers cornerback was named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Thursday morning. This is the first Pro Bowl selection for Horn, who is now in his fourth NFL campaign.
Horn was selected with the eighth overall pick of the 2021 draft. His first three seasons, however, would be mostly marred by injury—as he played in just 22 of a possible 51 games up through the 2023 season.
2024, however, has been a much different story for Horn—who has appeared in 15 of the team’s 16 outings ahead of this weekend’s regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.
Horn, over that run, has amassed career-highs in combined tackles (68), tackles for a loss (five), sacks (2.0) and passes defensed (13).
He has also, per Pro Football Focus, allowed 54.4 percent of his targets to be caught—the lowest mark of his career outside of his three-game rookie campaign in 2021.
