I would sure hope he has more upside than all of those guys - 23 years in the league between them and 2 Pro Bowls....at the #8 pick his upside better be 4-5 PB's at least and a few 1st Team All Pro's

If he's another Gamble I'd do back flips - that guy is massively underrated by Panthers fans. This coming from a Hurricanes fan who has never forgiven him for being involved in the 2002 National Championship travesty. That was never PI. 

Neither Bradberry or Gamble got Pro Bowls / All Pros because they didn't turn the ball over enough. Those are the flashy stats that voters want to see - that and playing in a small media market at 1pm every Sunday.

Don't get me wrong, I want Horn to be good . . . but that video . . . Horn had the leverage the entire time.  In a game, you simply don't throw that route.  Or the receiver options to an outbreaking route so the leverage works in his favor.

 

Well he only has one job.  Prevent the throw.   So yeah, he wouldn’t get the PBU in a game because a QB would be forced else thanks to Horn (insert whatever the seatbelt celebration is he does).

Jaycee had a better day today. With refs on the field throwing flags I didn't see him attract any negative attention. During 11 on 11 team drills he had a really nice PBU against Darnold and DJ Moore. 

 

Here he is defending the new guy Krishawn Hogan (who is 6'3 btw). 

 

He was coached by one of the best in College, TRob, and he has the bloodlines. If he's improved his hand placement THAT quickly, and this snap wasn't just an aberration then this kid is going to be spectacular. He's clearly coachable as heck.

Do we know it was 11 on 11 / 7 on 7 and not just 1 on 1?

It was 1 0n 1's for the PBU against Hogan. Followed up by some jawing from both. Love that we finally have a CB that has that dog mentality and the physique/(hopefully talent) to back it up.

Opponent QB's going to have to pick their poison.  Jackson or Horn.

Mess with the bull you get the horns.

Yes. If he's got a lot of PBUs, that means the QB doesn't respect him enough and keeps throwing at him. I want a CB that QBs want to avoid. How do you get that? You do exactly what Horn is doing. You make the QB want to look somewhere else.

A true shutdown CB on the Panthers, thought I'd never see the day.

Just using the PB's as an example - agree with most of that just saying they never had longevity or the success I expect from Horn.  I liked Gamble and agree his was under-rated - but I don't think he was ever on the level of Revis, Sherman, Ramsey, etc... which is what I hope Horn gets to
