Jaycee Horn is one of the league's best shutdown cornerbacks. The Carolina Panthers are now paying him like one after signing him to a lucrative contract extension ahead of time this offseason.

Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero also doesn't let the player travel to go up against the opposition's most prolific receiving threat at all times.
