CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Jimmy Horn Jr.'s reaction was priceless.
First there was a childlike stare by the Carolina Panthers' rookie wide receiver. Then came a tilt of the head, followed by lips parting as though he was about to say something snarky when asked if he was ready to play defense following a touchdown-saving tackle off a fake-punt completion.
After an outburst of laughs following Saturday night's practice at Bank of America Stadium, the 5-foot-8, 174-pound Horn deadpanned: "Hey, I'll play anywhere on the field.''
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, in Charlotte for Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers in advance of Friday night's preseason opener, knows the look and the attitude.
