After signing a record-setting contract, Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn says his fellow DBs deserve more money.

In an interview with NFL Network’s “The Insiders” on Tuesday, Horn said that cornerback is the second-hardest position in football, behind quarterback. Horn, who briefly set the record for highest-paid cornerback in the NFL, called the contract “life-changing money” and said it was a dream come true.
