The Carolina Panthers selected Colorado WR Jimmy Horn Jr. with the 208th pick of Round 6 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Horn isn't physically imposing at 5'8, 174 pounds, he's a capable slot option who can win early in the route. Horn handled WR2 duties at South Florida as a freshman and sophomore. He primarily played the slot, dazzling with his run-after-catch ability. A transfer to Colorado in 2023 supplied a chance to play with QB Shedur Sanders. A loaded WR room partly limited Horn’s production, but he still managed 95 catches and 1,007 yards from 2023-2024 (13 games). He totaled seven TDs, with only one coming in ‘24. He had a 4.48 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 44th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 12%, and 41st among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 65.1. He is currently 23.5 years old with a Breakout Age of 21. He ranked 43rd among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.74 . Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Cole Beasley. He could develop into a PPR factor.
Horn is small, but has electric explosion off the line.
He likely will make a special teams impact for the Panthers before making an impact on the offensive side of the ball.
Horn is unlikely to crack the lineup for the Panthers long term, especially after drafting WR Tet McMillan this year and the breakout of UDFA WR Jalen Coker last season.
He is a pass in rookie drafts.
