Jimmy Horn Jr.'s draft stock went up after NFL Combine according to ESPN analyst Jordan Reid

Jimmy Horn Jr. attended the NFL Combine a few weeks ago and put together a strong performance. He made an impression in several events and impressed many scouts. After the event, ESPN analyst Jordan Reid praised Horn Jr.'s physical abilities and said he thinks he has gotten himself into position to be a late-round pick.

"Horn was one of the day's biggest surprises, as his 4.46-second 40-yard dash is a huge boost to his stock," Reid wrote. "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," the analyst said. "We (ESPN) 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."

He is viewed as a borderline draft pick by most media outlets. According to Pro Football Focus, Jimmy Horn Jr. is the 233rd-ranked player in the draft.
