Legacy Begins: Jaycee Horn Aims to Leave Lasting Impact on…
Dan Morgan‘s comments about stocking the Carolina Panthers roster with “dogs” were on stuck on repeat this offseason. His commitment to adding some fire to the roster riled up Panthers fans hoping for a change in the franchise’s overall demeanor that lacked spice in recent years. Morgan’s player on defense with the most canine-like tendencies wasn’t one that was brought in this offseason, he’s one that’s been around for most of the decade, and he hopes to be in Carolina for the forseeable future.
Jaycee Horn: “I hope I’m here long term too.”
During his media availability on Wednesday afternoon, Dan Morgan was asked about Jaycee Horn and if he received calls on the veteran defensive back ahead of this week’s trade deadline. Morgan responded by saying he “politely” declined overtures from rivals squads, and confirmed that Jaycee Horn is “ours.” That’s good news for Panthers fans and Horn’s teammates.
The former South Carolina Gamecock has been massive for an ailing Carolina Panthers defense. Even with a large portion of the original starting defense crumbling around him, Horn has showed up to work every Sunday and done his job with five-star results. In Sunday’s win against the New Orleans Saints, Horn didn’t allow a single catch, locking down the boundary against a squad that torched him and the rest of Carolina’s defensive backfield in week one.
