Panthers Reacts Survey: Grading the Horn extension
The first big move of free agency for the Carolina Panthers was taking care of one of their own. Cornerback Jaycee Horn landed a monster extension that made him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history.
Horn, who was selected 8th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, plays at a position that doesn’t get a lot of visibility for the audience at home unless something goes terribly wrong or incredibly right. A good defensive back doesn’t get his named called by the announcer often. Unfortunately for Horn, his name has been in the news more often for injuries than highlight plays over much of his first four years in the NFL. This last season was the closest he has come to playing a full season.
