Jimmy Horn Jr. making strong case for NFL Draft

Jimmy Horn Jr. is turning heads at the East-West Shrine Bowl. ESPN analyst Jordan Reid named him one of the game’s “eight rising prospects.” His strong ball skills and ability to make tough catches have impressed scouts. During Monday’s practice, he hauled in a wild touchdown grab, proving his ability.

Horn’s speed has always been his most significant asset, and he has shown that throughout the week. He stretches defenses both vertically and horizontally, making him a valuable weapon. His hands have been solid, and he continues to create separation with ease.

With the Rams potentially looking for speed at wide receiver, Horn could be a late-round steal or a priority undrafted free agent. Jimmy Horn will get another chance to impress scouts during the Shrine Bowl game on Thursday. If he continues to perform well, his chances of hearing his name called in April will only improve.
