Denver Broncos general manager George Paton will attend South Carolina’s pro day Wednesday, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
Cornerback Jaycee Horn, the son of former NFL wide receiver Joe Horn, is arguably the Gamecocks’ most notable prospect. Denver could still use more depth at cornerback, so Paton will likely take a close look at Horn.
Horn is the third-best cornerback in this year’s class, according to Luke Easterling’s rankings on Draft Wire.
Other South Carolina draft prospects of note include linebacker Ernest Jones, cornerback Israel Mukuamu and wide receiver Shi Smith.
Paton attended NDSU’s pro day two weeks ago, presumably to scout quarterback Trey Lance. Paton did not attend Alabama’s first pro day on Tuesday. Klis reported Paton was still working on free agency (Denver re-signed safety Kareem Jackson and cut tight end Nick Vannett on Tuesday).
Paton did send college scouting director Brian Stark to Alabama’s first pro day, and the Crimson Tide will have another pro day next week. For the Broncos, QB Mac Jones might be the most notable Bama prospect this year. It will be interesting to see if Paton attends Jones’ second pro day.
