The Carolina Panthers will have a very special guest representing them on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
As announced on Thursday, former quarterback Jake Delhomme will be in attendance in Pittsburgh, Penn. next week to announce Carolina's second-round pick. The Panthers posted the following tease to Twitter/X this afternoon . . .
Delhomme actually never heard his name called during the annual selection process, as he entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Southwestern Louisiana in 1997. But he'd go on to piece together one heck of a career, amassing 20,975 passing yards over 11 NFL seasons.
Seven of those 11 campaigns were spent in Carolina, where Delhomme threw for 19,258 yards and 120 touchdowns—both the second-most in franchise history. He also led the Panthers to their first Super Bowl appearance (2003) and is currently the only quarterback in the team's Hall of Honor.
The second round of the 2026 draft will take place on Friday, Apr. 24, where Carolina holds the 51st overall selection.
