[2] In addition, Delhomme was a scholar serving as Senior Beta Club president of his chapter in Louisiana.

[3] Playing on a team with future NFL wide receiver Brandon Stokley and offensive lineman Anthony Clement, the Ragin' Cajuns won the Big West Conference twice, and finished with three winning seasons.

[7] After another stint on the Saints' practice squad, he was sent back to NFL Europe, this time as a member of the Frankfurt Galaxy.

The Galaxy operated under a rare two-quarterback strategy, utilizing both Delhomme and Pat Barnes; the pair was known as the "Double-Headed Quarterback Monster".

We were not the most talented team, but we just played together, had the right chemistry.Following his success in Europe, he was brought back to the New Orleans Saints as the full-time third-string quarterback.

In his first NFL start against the Dallas Cowboys, he threw two touchdowns en route to a Saints victory, the team's third.

[3] Delhomme continued to see limited playing time the following three seasons, as he was the backup to Aaron Brooks and Jeff Blake.

[10] With Aaron Brooks cemented as the starter in New Orleans, Delhomme was interested in fighting for a starting spot in the NFL.

Delhomme took over for Peete and threw three touchdowns, the last coming in a fourth-down situation with just 16 seconds left in the game, to lead the Panthers to a comeback victory.

[15] Delhomme led the Panthers on a Cinderella[16] run through the playoffs, including a double-overtime victory against the St. Louis Rams.

[17] After beating the top-seeded Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game, the Panthers made it through to Super Bowl XXXVIII to face the New England Patriots.

Despite his personal success in the game (16-of-33 for 323 yards, 3 passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 113.6 passer rating), as well as setting a record for longest offensive play from scrimmage in Super Bowl history (an 85-yard pass to Muhsin Muhammad), the Panthers fell on a last-minute field goal by Adam Vinatieri.

To let it sink in, to hurt, so when we start practice in the fall, the two-a-days and there are days during the season when I'm tired and I want to go home, but I need to watch that extra film.

When I have a tough day, I'll just think about that feeling and it will make me dig down just a little deeper.The 2004 season proved bittersweet for Delhomme, as he posted career highs in pass attempts, completions, overall yardage, and touchdowns.

[3] They ultimately positioned themselves for a playoff berth, but lost that chance with a final game loss to Delhomme's former team, the New Orleans Saints.

[23] Once again, he led the Panthers through the playoffs, including a shutout of the New York Giants, and a road victory over the Chicago Bears although the team ultimately fell to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship game.

However, in the third game of the season (against division rival Atlanta Falcons), Delhomme suffered an elbow injury that would set off a series of changes for the Panthers at the quarterback position.

[30] Meanwhile, Delhomme opted for season ending Tommy John surgery on the elbow after two weeks of testing his arm.

[35] In the season opener loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, Delhomme went 7 of 17 for 73 yards with four interceptions and a lost fumble, before getting benched for journeyman Josh McCown.

However, he suffered a high ankle sprain during the second quarter of the Browns' first game of the season, a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Delhomme had been notably grounded and thrown to the ground by Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, in a preseason game.)

Delhomme started against his former team the Carolina Panthers, after Colt McCoy suffered a high ankle sprain.

Delhomme entered the Texans' season finale against the Titans after Yates suffered a bruised throwing shoulder.

[52] Another commercial with Smith portrays the duo as the Dukes of Hazzard, driving the General Lee with a large chicken head on the roof.

[53] Delhomme has also done SunCom Wireless limited edition cell phone commercials that feature a Panthers logo and his signature,[54] and he has appeared in public service announcements for Civitan International.

[58] Since retiring from football in 2011, Delhomme returned to his hometown of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, and worked in banking while also breeding racehorses.
