Jaycee Horn has settled on his jersey number with the Carolina Panthers.

Horn announced on social media Saturday night that he will be wearing No. 8 for the Panthers. As part of a new league rule that allows for wider jersey number flexibility, cornerbacks are now able to wear single-digit jerseys.

He is wearing the number to honor Kobe Bryant, who wore both 8 and 24 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

When asked about No. 24 specifically he said, “It is a great number. It’s definitely in mind. I’m going to look at some of those single digits too though, see how those work out. My brother was talking to me about it on the way over here and changed my mind a little bit so we’ll see how it shakes out.”

Horn wore No. 1 and 7 during his time at South Carolina.

Other rookies have announced their new numbers with the Panthers.

Tight end Tommy Tremble shared he will be wearing No. 82 and fourth-round pick running back Chuba Hubbard will be wearing No. 30, the same as his number at Oklahoma State.

The single-digit selection of No. 8, the number Bryant wore in the first half of his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers from 1997 to 2006, will certainly be quite a different look in the secondary come game day.

Horn also appeared to have considered No. 21 and No. 24, Bryant’s second number he donned from 2007 to 2016, in the process.In the end, we can say he certainly nailed it. His No. 8 may not only signify his exact draft position, but also a true fandom to one of the most influential and impactful athletes in history.

I hope he does the number proud.  It's been a few years since we had a CB that played like a mad dog.

I want some rough tumbling thistlefoots in the footrums of tomfoolery.  Felderweels be felterswelled in the pits of Fashoriumdalum.

    • What this chart tells me with absolute certainty: In the first round, we like Georgia's #11 or #13 at 8.  However, TMac as the lone offensive player could suggest that he is the pick if on the board--if they liked him. the reason I think this?  There are edges predicted to go in all other rounds that were met with.  The others seem to be preparing for a trade back.  I think Morgan wants to do that.  We are definitely prioritizing edge over anything else in rounds 1 and 2. The overwhelming number of Edges/OLBs in rounds 1-3 might suggest that they are looking for two edges--or they are going to go after a WR and or S in round 1.  For example, if Walker is gone, they might want to take TMac.  With only 1 WR and 1 S mentioned in round 1, it makes you wonder if they are not being targeted.  At WR, Noel is listed in round 2 and Sanker is the only other S listed, in round 4.  Jon Snow's prediction that Emmanwori could be the pick in round 1 is supported by this theory. In a draft so overloaded at DT, the Panthers brought in Nolen (probably wondering if he drops to the second and if the rumors about his character are valid), TJ Sanders from the USC in the second, and Deione Walker, a NT from KY (I heard they liked him at SR Bowl) in the third.  In other words, not a lot of DT attention in the first 3 rounds. However, of the 11 players listed as prospects in rounds 2 and 3, five (5) are edge players.  We are taking an edge in rounds 1 or 2.  I think, since only 1 WR and no safeties are listed after round 1, they will be flexible in round 1.  They cannot be flexible with S based on this list, unless Sanker in round 4 is more than a fallback. Here is the dilemma--if they take an edge in round 1--based on this list only--does that force them to take Noel in round 2 and Sanker in round 4?  Big dropoffs if you consider that Princely and Swinson and Kinnard will be there in rounds 2 and 3? The lack of focus on WR is alarming. Of course, teams could use visits to analyze character because red flags are flying.  Nolen, TMac, have questions. DL seems to pick up steam at pick 140.  In fact, South Carolina has 4 DL on this list (most are local visits).    What do I get from this? Taking a S in round 1 makes sense and the rest of the draft seems to fall together.  Trade back is ideal. In round 1, we seem to be focused on Jalon Walker (LB) and Emmanwori (S).  TMac is a real possibility, allowing them to focus on D from here out. Round 2 will be an edge-maybe even if we take Walker.   However, if we do take Walker, Round 2 could be Noel (WR). Round 3  I think, based on this, the Panthers will take Knight (LB USC).  I think Morgan will love him.  Walker (NT, KY) is also on the table. Round 4  If they missed Emmanwori in the first round, Sanker is taken here.  I would also expect them to draft Trapoli (OT) a RT with excellent pass blocking skills.  Round 5  The Panthers seem to like the depth of this draft at DL enough to focus on DT depth with picks 140 and 146.  DTs Cam Jackson and Pegues are listed.  Both would be steals here.
