SAN FRANCISCO — The moment Jerricho Cotchery never thought would arrive is about to do just that.
After two agonizingly close calls with the Jets that left him despairing at ever getting to a Super Bowl, the seemingly ageless wide receiver is finally on the NFL’s ultimate stage as a member of the Panthers.
Cotchery is all but pinching himself about facing the Broncos in Super Bowl 50 on Sunday in Santa Clara that — win or lose — already marks the culmination of a 12-year quest.
