Athletic freak Horn another cornerback radar
Another USC, the University of South Carolina, had its Pro Day also on Wednesday and cornerback Jaycee Horn was the central focus. Horn fits the Patriots’ profile in the cornerback position as physical pressure outside the corner and he could be a potential 15th overall choice, a selection that more than some experts predicted.
Horn is the son of former NFL receiver Joe Horn, and checked all the physical boxes on his Pro Day with a 41.5-inch vertical, 11’1 “wide jump and 33-inch arms. Horn is a specimen and not far behind Alabama Patrick Surtain, who had an equally impressive performance on Alabama’s Pro Day on Tuesday.
His 4.39 40 yard run was just the cherry on a fantastic day for the newcomer newcomer from South Carolina.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see today’s performance launch more Horn boards for draft, but even at 15, the Patriots should have a chance for at least one of the main trios, including Caleb Farley, who now appears to be a consensus top. 10 choices.
