30 NFL records that could be broken this season
By Nick Villano
6. Jaycee Horn, Panthers franchise interception record
The Carolina Panthers have incredible talent at both sides of the ball, but there only a few who have established themselves. Brian Burns is an established star who seems like he’s figured out the issues he has with his current team because they are negotiating again. They added Miles Anders, Adam Theilen, and DJ Chark on offense. Jaycee Horn has a chance to be the best of the bunch.
The cornerback is going into his third year, and he’s ready to put his injury history behind him. Horn is one of the most talented cornerbacks in football today. He’s about to enter the year that most cornerbacks start their peak. He’s just 23 years old with two years of NFL experience under his belt. The sky is the limit.
Horn had three interceptions in 13 games last season. One could assume a full season would come with one more interception, giving him four. We see him at least doubling that number this season. The Panthers record is eight interceptions in a season, held by Doug Evans back in 2001.
Interceptions are slightly random. Even a player like Darrelle Revis had up and down years when it came to interception numbers. Trying to predict the peak is hard, but this just feels like a special season from Horn.
