Not one member of the Carolina Panthers, for a fifth straight year, was selected to either of The Associated Press’ All-Pro Teams. A handful of their players did, however, get a bit of recognition.
Four Panthers received at least one vote from the national panel of 50 media members—cornerback Jaycee Horn (one), running back/kick returner Raheem Blackshear (nine), linebacker/special teamer Jon Rhattigan (one) and long snapper JJ Jansen (two).
Horn played a career-high 15 games in 2024 while also recording bests in combined tackles (68), tackles for a loss (five), sacks (2.0) and passes defensed (13). The fourth-year defender and former eighth overall draft pick was selected to his first Pro Bowl a week ago.
Blackshear returned the most kickoffs (31) for the second-most return yardage (791) in the NFL this season. He averaged 25.5 yards per attempt.
Rhattigan played 369 of his 370 total snaps on special teams. He tallied 12 tackles.
Jansen ended his 16th pro campaign by playing in his 260th straight game. He is the seventh player in league history to appear in at least 260 games for one team.
