People ask why I love Jaycee Horn so much so I'm starting a thread
Horn (6'1 205lbs) is your prototypical shutdown CB. Many teams didn't even want to test Jaycee, but when a high powered and confident offense like Auburn came around things got interesting..
Seth Williams is one of the best contested ball catchers in the nation. Bo Nix tried testing Jaycee early and often but Horn breaks on the ball with the best of them
Very next play, this time from the slot
If the ball is in the vicinity, Horn's going to get his hands on it

Single handedly kept his team in this game

This play is arguably my favorite, really highlights Horn's physicality
Seth Williams is 6'3 215lbs and Jaycee straight bullied him all day

Blanketed. Horn creates another turnover with his active hands
Flips the hips and head, PBU. Textbook.
If you want to nitpick you want Jaycee to get his hands on the WR earlier to get a jam, but look at the way his feet mirrors the WRs..
Free play for the O, another PBU for Horn

Here's his "bad" play for the people who ask me to show that
Gets too handsy here and gets called for the hold. Still a nice play on the ball though

Like most QBs I would've tried going elsewhere Bo, but that's just me 
Bo didn't listen.. #1 creates his 3rd turnover
No one else tested Horn like this.. and there's a reason why

Jaycee Horn vs Devonta Smith

Same matchup, this time in press
Good coverage but Smith pulls it in. 2 great players

Cuts off Tua's throw to Ruggs in the flats, then jumps the deep route to Jeudy nearly making the diving INT
Love a corner who will stick his nose in the run game. Chopping down Najee Harris for a short gain is hard for any defender, let alone a CB
Well covered crossing route vs Jerry Jeudy but Horn makes contact early and draws the flag
Here's the bad play for ya. Horn initially had Devonta covered but gets caught peeking in the backfield (possibly looking to jump the out) and gets burned because of it
This was the last time I remember seeing Jaycee get burned (2019)

You'll see this often when watching Horn (top of screen) QB wants to go his way, but his guy is blanketed
QB has to move to his next read and gets pressured because of it

Tough task but hard to play the back shoulder much better than that vs Kyle Pitts 1on1
South Carolina trusted Horn on an island all day
Shows good turn and run ability here. would've been another PBU but gets called for the hook. Needs to work on being less handsy at the next level

Again sticking his nose in the run game
And the cherry on top at the end (the kind of jerk you want on your team)

Pass rusher Jaycee Horn with the pressure off the edge
PRESS MAN 
Impressive agility for his size
3rd down stop in a tie game

WR had no chance, QB probably shouldn't have even thrown it

Not an easy route to mirror but Horn does it effortlessly (bottom screen)
Horn is one of the most lockdown Redzone CBs I've ever seen
Catching a fade vs him feels virtually impossible. I've yet to see it be done.

OCs had to get creative to beat him
Both his TDs allowed this season were on designed pick plays

This one should've been a flag tbh but there's the 2
