In his first year as a starter, a little more than a decade ago, Louisiana native Jake Delhomme guided the Carolina Panthers to their first Super Bowl.
When the Panthers line up to play in their second Super Bowl on Sunday, Delhomme is planning to watch from the comfort of his home in Breaux Bridge. But he hasn’t lost his connection to the team that gave him an opportunity to be a starting NFL quarterback.
Delhomme recently spoke to The Advocate about the Panthers’ championship run, the generational talent that is Cam Newton and how Peyton Manning is poised to reach the game’s greatest height at nearly 40 years old.
