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.
