Highlights from the Panthers' opening week of 2025 OTAs

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales seemed rather satisfied with the very first outing of team organized activities on Tuesday. "What a great day," Canales told reporters following practice. "We've been building and working out and training for this, to get back on the field and just get this thing started. Going against offense versus defense and being able to fly around in there. Of course, with the time of year that it is, the guys gotta be able to work full-speed and be able to take care of each other, and I felt like we did that today. So, really exciting stuff." Advertisement Albeit an appetizer for the rest of their offseason work, the stuff the Panthers did do was relatively exciting. We got some flashes of the youngsters, interesting details from players and coaches and even a visit from a few old friends. So, let's take a look back at the very best of it.

Panthers rookie WR already turning heads with his startling speed

The Carolina Panthers may have found the wheels they've been looking for. Saturday afternoon marked the end of the second and final practice for this year's rookie minicamp, where wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. chatted with reporters. And Horn, who dazzled onlookers with his speed during the two sessions, was asked if we've even seen him at his fastest yet. Advertisement "Not yet. Not yet. They've seen a little bit," he replied. In a follow-up, Joe Person of The Athletic then asked Horn what he will look like when he hits that top gear. "I'll be flying," he stated. "I'll be out of here." Horn was selected by the Panthers in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. The 5-foot-8, 174-pounder may not have registered on many radars with his 4.46-second 40-yard dash at February's scouting combine, but he certainly opened some eyes at the collegiate level—where he averaged 12.1 yards per reception. Among those who may have noticed was Panthers general manager Dan Morgan, who watched his offense average the third-fewest yards per attempt (6.2) in 2024. Horn's experience as both a kick and punt returner, another area of need for Carolina, should have also appealed to Morgan and company. Advertisement Oh, and if what you're about to see isn't him at his full speed, then Horn will probably be flying his way right onto the 53-man roster come Week 1 . . .
