Wr Jimmy Horn Jr NFL Rookie Journey: From Colorado Buffaloes to Carolina Panthers He Beat The Odds

Former Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. has not only made the Carolina Panthers roster as a 2025 sixth-round draft pick, but he’s also contributed in his rookie NFL season and built chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young as Carolina fights for playoff positioning. After being selected with pick 208 in the 2025 NFL Draft, Horn has recorded 8 receptions for 84 yards through his rookie campaign, showing flashes of playmaking speed and versatility out of the slot. 

Horn’s story is one of perseverance and overcoming adversity. Hailing from a small town in Florida and under-recruited out of high school before transferring to Colorado in 2023, his journey has become a fan favorite. At Colorado, Horn consistently found ways to impact games, making big plays against teams like Colorado State and USC, and quickly became one of Coach Prime Deion Sanders’ standout playmakers before entering the NFL. 

Though his role with the Panthers has largely been as a depth receiver and gadget player in his rookie year, his explosive speed, 4.47-ish track-like quickness, and route-running ability keep him on the radar as a versatile asset. Carolina’s young offensive corps has leaned on contributions from rookies and draft picks alike, and Horn’s continued development could see him earn more opportunities as the season progresses. 

This video breaks down Jimmy Horn Jr.’s NFL production, his inspiring path from Colorado to the Panthers, and why his story resonates with fans across the country. From adversity to opportunity, Horn’s rise is one to watch as Carolina pushes toward the playoffs and as he continues to carve out his place in the league.
