Jaycee Horn loved what he saw from Bryce Young after the Week 12 loss.
last week. After a 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Young addressed the team publicly. It's not typically his leadership style, and it caught the attention and got the support of veteran cornerback Jaycee Horn.It's not often that Bryce Young speaks up for the team. His leadership style is much more reserved and he prefers to let others take the reigns for him. That was not how he operated after a walk-off loss to the defending champs.
Most of his teammates are willfully quiet about what exactly was said, but cornerback Jaycee Horn admitted that he was animated according to Joe Person ofHorn said. “But it was good because it got the guys going. Obviously, everybody’s talking about it, so hopefully we can come out here and rally off that speech.”
It's what the team was looking for. Horn went on to say, “I wouldn’t say I was surprised. I was just kind of happy, like, finally. He stepped up and just a show of leadership and really just being the guy we all knew he was. It’s a lot being the No. 1 pick, going through the ups and downs. Nobody’s career is perfect. He’s playing ball and I’m proud of him. I’m just happy to see him take control of the team.
It was a rare display in perhaps an interesting spot. The Panthers took the defending champs to the wire and Young had a career-best performance. It was a moral victory if there are any, and it was a performance to hang the team's hat on. Yet, Young isn't satisfied with that. The only victories that count are in the standings, and he decided the team needed to hear from him.
