Horton (6-foot-5, 265) signed with Carolina as an undrafted rookie out of the University of Southern California last season. He had two sacks and eight tackles in 2013. 

He wears 96. He has a tightly trimmed chinstrap beard. His dad, Mike Horton, was Gemini on "American Gladiators." Wes had two sacks last season, both against Tampa Bay.

Hah! Who knew?  If posted already I'll delete but that's pretty cool.

We had four girls sitting behind us that apparently were friends, family, or girlfriends of Wes Horton. Every time he got on the field, or came close to making a play they were going bonkers.

 

You were sitting close to where I was, they were about 10 feet away from me.  A woman a few seats away got their story.  One of the girls was Horton's girlfriend, two were his sisters and the last was a friend.  Apparently the Panthers have a program for wives and girlfriends of players where they help move them out to Charlotte and help them find a job here so they can be with their significant other.  The girlfriend has been here a couple of months thanks to the Panthers and the rest of the girls drove from Los Angeles over four days to make it to the game.

There's almost always friends/family of players sitting there. Sean May was there a few years ago, showed up at the start of the second quarter and left midway through the third!

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
