2021 NFL Draft: New mock draft with Justin Fields, Zach Wilson rising
Scouting Report. CB. Jaycee Horn. 14. player. Pick Analysis. South Carolina. 45
The Denver Broncos are currently a tough team to project for the 2021 NFL Draft.
One area of this team that needs addressing is cornerback, and they proved that in their ugly performance against the Atlanta Falcons.
With veterans AJ Bouye and Bryce Callahan out, the Broncos’ young defensive backs were picked on by veteran Matt Ryan, and the Falcons got Denver’s defensive backs for some huge plays.
Even projecting Michael Ojemudia as a starter going forward, the Broncos can’t rely on Bouye or Callahan to play a full season in 2021. With that being the case, cornerback is an area this team needs an immediate and future upgrade.
Jaycee Horn is the son of former NFL receiver Joe Horn, and he has been shutting things down this season for South Carolina.
In three seasons for the Gamecocks, Horn has 23 pass breakups and a pair of interceptions to go along with 100 total tackles, six tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles.
He’s a star in the making and at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he has excellent size for the position to body up with bigger receivers.
