This week, The Observer’s “Sports Legends of the Carolinas” project welcomes one of the most recognizable faces in Carolina Panthers history, former Pro Bowl quarterback Jake Delhomme.
At 47 years old, Delhomme is now a Panthers team radio broadcaster, and a successful horse breeder in his native Louisiana. He and I spoke in The Observer’s recording studio, and on Part 1 of our conversation, Delhomme discusses current quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Panthers’ protects for the upcoming season; how Delhomme brought a taste of his upbringing in Cajun Country to Charlotte; and the legacy of X-Clown, the play that won the Panthers a double-overtime thriller in the 2003 playoffs.
Part 2 of our conversation is available exclusively for subscribers on Apple Podcasts.
Sports Legends of the Carolinas is hosted by Scott Fowler. It's produced by Jeff Siner and Kata Stevens. McClatchy's director of audio is Davin Coburn. For lots more on the show, visit https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sportslegends .
