It’s unusual for a team to completely ignore one side of the field, but that’s the kind of impact Horn has on a game plan.
“For Jaycee, I saw him just, really just challenging things on a down-in and down-out basis,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday. “He should feel that confidence; he’s long, he’s fast, he’s aggressive, he’s got a great mind, a competitive mind where he understands concepts and things that are happening, and I loved watching him in the aggressive style that he played with yesterday.”
Horn also creates opportunities for others by virtue of his lockdown ability.
With fellow starting cornerback Mike Jackson getting more traffic, he’s making more plays, and is tied for the league lead with 17 passes defensed.
