Jimmy Horn Jr.'s draft stock is on the rise

Before the NFL Combine, Jimmy Horn Jr. was viewed as a borderline draftable prospect. It would not have been surprising if he was picked up in the late rounds of the draft, but it would have been equally unsurprising if he went undrafted. However, after his performance at the NFL Combine, he got the attention of several scouts.

Notably, NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid wrote about Horn Jr.'s impressive NFL Combine performance shortly after the event.

"Horn was one of the day's biggest surprises, as his 4.46-second 40-yard dash is a huge boost to his stock. That acceleration showed on his tape, but scouts I talked to believed he was more quick than fast. His suddenness caught my eye, especially in the route-running portion."

"He showed smooth moves, an ability to accelerate and decelerate in route stems, and strong hands. Except for one drop in the gauntlet, Horn was flawless. We labeled the 5-foot-8, 174-pounder as a Senior Bowl standout and he continues to raise his stock, going from a borderline draftable prospect entering the all-star circuit to a late-round pick with potential to contribute early."

At the NFL Combine Horn Jr. participated in four events, putting up impressive results:

• 40-yard dash: 4.46 seconds
• Vertical jump: 38"
• Broad jump: 10' 8"
• 20-yard shuttle: 4.41 seconds

He is now viewed as a likely draft selection in the 2025 NFL draft.
