The Carolina Panthers were hoping to capture the moment in which cornerback Jaycee Horn would learn the news of his very first Pro Bowl selection. But, just as he has the entire 2024 campaign, the fourth-year defender already had the jump on it.
Horn was officially named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Thursday morning. But before the announcement hit the masses, head coach Dave Canales, defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley tried to surprise him with the honor . . .
2024 has been a special campaign for Horn, who has appeared in a career-high 15 games. His first three seasons, which were marred by numerous injuries, saw the former eighth overall pick play in just 22 of a possible 51 outings.
The 25-year-old has also recorded career-bests in combined tackles (68), tackles for a loss (five), sacks (2.0) and passes defensed (13).
