CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jaycee Horn's body was slanted toward the middle of the end zone during a one-on-one drill against fellow Carolina Panthers cornerback Dicaprio Bootle, but when the pass was thrown outside, he effortlessly twisted his 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame and made a one-handed highlight-film catch.
The No. 8 overall pick of the 2021 draft believes he could have played wide receiver in the NFL like his dad, Joe Horn, a four-time Pro Bowl selection for the New Orleans Saints, if his high school team had not been stacked with receivers.
No regrets, though.
That's because Horn believes he is one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL -- if he can stay healthy.
