ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler surveyed NFL coaches, executives, and scouts and asked them to rank their top ten at each position group. The Carolina Panthers predictably had very little representation, but they did have one player that made the top ten: cornerback Jaycee Horn.
Horn came in at seventh behind Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr, Denzel Ward, Trent McDuffie, Sauce Gardner, and Christian Gonzalez.
Pretty much all of the comment snippets about Horn touch on his physicality both as a press corner
and as an uncharacteristically strong run stopper for a cornerback. His healthy has been the biggest limiter to his career so far. A second consecutive healthy season could see him climb that list.
No other Panther made the top ten, but a couple made honorable mention. Robert Hunt was the first honorable mention among interior offensive linemen thanks in large part to his dominant run blocking. Derrick Brown was the second defensive tackle listed in honorable mention, but he’ll surely climb that list with a healthy 2025 campaign. Chuba Hubbard received at least one vote for running back but wasn’t able to crack the top 10 or honorable mention.
