The Panthers needed to add some support for quarterback Bryce Young, and Horn fits the bill. The WR can serve as an offensive weapon for the right-handed slinger.

Carolina finished last season with a 5-12 record. However, many believe that the franchise made excellent additions to its roster at the draft.
