The Carolina Panthers will have one player in the 2026 Pro Bowl Games.
The NFL announced the 2026 Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday and one Carolina Panthers player made the team.
It's none other than CB Jaycee Horn, who made the Pro Bowl last season as well.
Horn has five interceptions on the season for the Panthers, who are in first place in the NFC South. The talented CB also has 24 solo tackles and one tackle for loss.
Behind Horn, Carolina is 13th in the NFL in points per game allowed (22.5).
"Horn became the first Carolina player since DE Brian Burns (2021-22) to make consecutive Pro Bowls, and deservedly so," Panthers reporter David Newton of ESPN wrote. "He is tied for second in the NFL in interceptions with five and is a true shutdown corner. The surprise is that DL Derrick Brown didn't make his second Pro Bowl. He has been a difference-maker as a run stopper, as has been his reputation, but also as a pass rusher.
"The Panthers still haven't had multiple players selected to the Pro Bowl since 2022, but that comes with an asterisk. RB Christian McCaffrey and DE Brian Burns made it that year, but McCaffrey was traded to San Francisco in October, so he played only six of 17 games for Carolina. In '21, Burns and cornerback Stephon Gilmore made the team, but Gilmore made it as an alternate. So you really have to go back to 2019 when LB Luke Kuechly and OG Trai Turner were initial selections."
The Panthers are looking to make the playoffs this season for the first time since 2017. They are 8-7 with two games left in the regular season against the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Carolina selected Horn with the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of South Carolina.
Horn has 10 career interceptions with the Panthers.
