Brian Burns ran over expeditiously to try and catch Horn unaware for a social media challenge, asking him, “Do you ever wish you were athletic?” Horn didn’t bite.
Former South Carolina teammate and current Packers corner Keisean Nixon zeroed in on Horn, immediately slipping into the competitive nature that has always defined their friendship.
“Me,” declared Horn as to who was the better corner. “From day one, from day one, it’s me. He’s going to tell you it’s him, but we’ve been competing since I was a pup,” smiled Horn. “I say it’s me.”
And it took around 24 days for Horn to feel comfortable extrapolating all the complicated emotions that bubble up at the end of every season, exasperated by disappointment at feeling, the way he explains it, one second away from a playoff win.
“Obviously, you’re upset when you lose a playoff game at home, and it was a tough loss, last second,” breathed Horn, letting his mind go back to that night once again, before everything clears again.
“But, when you sit back and just look at where we were, like a guy like me, my rookie year, and the years after that, to see how far we came, that this past season was definitely a win to get to the playoffs, but we can make that next level jump, and I think we will.”
