The former Colorado Buffaloese recipient, Jimmy Horn Jr., is already making the headlines despite his writing in the sixth round with the last choice of the Carolina Panthers of the NFL 2025 draft and behind their overall choice n ° 8, the large Tetairoa McMillan receiver of Arizona.
By playing for buffs, Horn recorded 95 receptions for 1,108 yards and seven affected in two seasons. It also presented its versatility in the field thanks to special teams, on average 21.0 yards per return to kick -off and 10.3 yards per boot of booty of kicking in its last year.
The Minicamp recruit of the Panthers enabled Horn the opportunity to highlight the speed and agility that made him succeed in bullying, and he did not miss the chance to impress. The observers noted its ability to create a separation and stretch the field, a skill that the panthers’ reception bodies would have missed last season.
During the minicamp recruit, Horn admitted that he had not yet completely displayed his speed, saying to the Caroline media: “They saw a little, but I do not show everything.”
Horn’s game also impressed head coach Dave Canales, who noted his “bursting in his roads” and “the vertical element” he brings to the team.
The managing director Dan Morgan echoes the enthusiasm of the potential of the recruit, saying: “He is not the biggest guy, but he has a love for the game, and he plays the game with a chip on his shoulder, and we are looking for this type of guy.”
The old speed of the buffs has also drawn considerable attention online while clips of the wide receiver of the recruits of the panthers continue to surface.

Despite the early buzz, some analysts advise temperature expectations. Brian Beversluis of SB Nation answered a recent question Debag on Horn, declaring:
“Rapid wide receptors still receive the most attention at the start of the offseason. Especially when said wide receiver is surrounded by more of its peers and fewer NFL talents. See a training camp and pre-season representatives. »»

It is true that Horn’s first realization will be to break the list of 53 men, but it is a task for which the recruit feels prepared after his stay in Boulder under the coach of the NFL renowned temple, Deion Sanders.
“The Prime coach has prepared us well,” said Horn. “The way they directed the system are also quite similar.”
Panthers coaches staff, including coach Dave Canales, will now be those who assess Horn’s progress as they seek to strengthen their reception options. The speed and versatility of Horn could provide an essential spark for the attack on panthers and special teams, but only time will tell us if it can secure a place on the list of 53 men.
In the meantime, Horn remains focused on the upcoming journey: “It’s a great experience. I take advantage of every moment.”
