Jake Delhomme Hand Drawn & Signed Football Play (Beckett/BAS)

Former football quarterback who played professionally in the National Football League (NFL). Delhomme played college football at Louisiana, then known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana, before being signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent after the 1997 NFL Draft. Delhomme began his professional career as a practice squad player with the Saints in 1997 and 1998 and played in the NFL Europe for two years in between NFL seasons. Returning to the Saints, Delhomme played his first NFL games in 1999. Delhomme played as the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback from 2003 to 2009. Delhomme held many of Carolina's quarterback records until Cam Newton broke most of them. Delhomme led the team to Super Bowl XXXVIII in his first season with Carolina. After his departure from Carolina, Delhomme also played for the Cleveland Browns in 2010 and Houston Texans in 2011.

Offered here is a play that is hand drawn by Delhomme--66 Tin Delay--accomplished and signed in black felt tip marker. A vertical bend impression is present along the left side, otherwise in fine condition. Authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
