Carolina Panthers receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. has made plays all camp, and he made plays throughout Fan Fest. But the rookie is choosing to ignore it, keeping his focus on technical details and big picture wins.

There was a big play for Xavier Legette, then a little scare. Plus some special teams trickery, and the feeling of being in front of the fans again.

The Carolina Panthers' rookie receiver, has had bad days and excellent days, as his camp has become defined by resilience, growth, and one-handed catches that he promises aren't a big deal. 

It was a day of interceptions and big hits, and Dave Canales is OK with that. Plus more from Friday, including the offense's response, injury updates, and why Robert Hunt is continuing to add to his game.
