Clemson legend Hunter Renfrow has certainly impressed people in the Carolina Panthers organization since signing a one-year deal with the Panthers back in April.

Panthers Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn was the latest to praise Renfrow on Friday after the team’s training camp session.

Horn, a 2021 first-round draft pick out of South Carolina, spoke highly of Renfrow as he makes his NFL comeback this year.

“Renfrow coming back – he’s been impossible to guard out here out of the slot,” Horn said on the Up & Adams show with host Kay Adams.

Now entering his fifth NFL season, Horn was a true freshman at South Carolina back in 2018 when Renfrow was in his final year with the Tigers.

Adams asked Horn why people sleep on Renfrow, who recorded 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns across his five seasons with the Raiders from 2019-23.

“I think we know that, just the way he – you know, he looks like a regular business man if you see him,” Horn said.

Renfrow definitely doesn’t play like your average business man, though.

But what exactly is it about the 5-foot-10, 185-pound receiver that makes him “impossible to guard”?

“The way he sets up routes,” Horn said. “When you’re off coverage, the way he makes everything – he might have an out route and makes it look like an in-breaking route. He puts so many sticks and twists and turns in his routes. It just makes it tough to cover.”

Panthers head coach Dave Canales recently called Renfrow “a great story” as the 29-year-old returns to action after missing all of the 2024 season while dealing with health challenges stemming from a diagnosis of the autoimmune condition ulcerative colitis.

“It’s just the Hunter Renfrow I remember,” Canales said of the 2019 fifth-round pick. “He looks healthy. I think everyone who’s watched football over the last four or five years remembers what he looks like, and he’s really playing at top form right now. I’m really excited to have him here and to have his family, which is right down the road here after this practice, to be able to just connect with him. And it’s a great story that’s unfolding right in front our eyes, so it’s really exciting to see him playing out there.”
