Following a notable season, Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn has been selected for his first Pro Bowl. This recognition marks a significant milestone in Horn's career, characterized by his skill and resilience on the field.

Horn's teammate, Mike Jackson, who joined the Panthers from the Seattle Seahawks, expressed admiration for Horn. "Everything is true," Jackson said about Horn's abilities. "He could be one of the best cornerbacks in the league."

Horn played 97.6% of defensive snaps this season despite past injuries that had previously hindered his performance. His commitment to improvement was evident in his preparation and execution throughout the season.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales acknowledged Horn's dedication to maintaining peak physical condition and credited him with having a plan for success. "His plan worked," Canales stated. He also praised Horn's focus and toughness on the field.

Passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley highlighted a pivotal moment last year when he realized Horn's potential during a game against Tampa Bay Buccaneers' receiver Mike Evans. "That was the game that made me a believer," Cooley said.

Veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen emphasized Horn's work ethic and mindset as key factors in his development into a Pro Bowl-caliber player. Thielen noted, "You could tell that he had that Pro Bowl mindset."

As Horn prepares for his first Pro Bowl appearance, teammates celebrated his achievement as a testament to hard work and perseverance. Thielen remarked on their excitement: "I think that's the most excited I've ever seen a group of people for somebody else."
