2021 CB Jaycee Horn
The South Carolina product is no longer just Joe Horn’s son, as he has established himself as one of the top cover players in the game.
Horn was named to his first Pro Bowl last season, which was an honor that came from his peers since he was never in the top 10 in fan voting.
The Panthers also extended his contract this offseason, securing one of their leaders into the future, something they felt comfortable doing after seeing what he put into getting himself ready to play last season.
“I saw a guy that was just so focused on helping the team, on being out there, on making sure that his body was right,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said. “I wasn’t around Jaycee before, but what I saw was just this professionalism, this way that he went about his week, his body readiness, his mental preparation, his film study, and all those habits.
“I just saw him give us something so solid and stable for other guys to see. This is how you achieve excellence, and I love the fact that he was recognized for it with the Pro Bowl and all that. But I thought that was inevitable if he could just be out there. But he brought that to us, so I thought that was really important for Jaycee to be somebody that people could look at.”
