Delhomme’s story can be considered an inspiration for many, for he has been a true underdog in the history of the NFL! Like many of his contemporaries, he started his career as an undrafted rookie for the Saints and climbed up the stairs of success to become a franchise quarterback for the Panthers. The surprising and inspiring part is that Delhomme did this in just a span of only five years!
Though his stats never defied any chart or made any world record, Delhomme had the potential to play pretty well, and he consistently made Carolina a viable contender. In 2004, he succeeded in making a Super Bowl with them, but in vain, as they ultimately lost it to the Patriots.
Jake Plummer
Plummer was one of those NFL quarterbacks who did not have that great a personality and maintained a rather low profile. Like several other players in the league, he did not have a flashy demeanor that could land him a place in the news!
During his time with the Cardinals, the team tried their best to develop him into a franchise quarterback, but his level never matched up to the expectations. But having said that, Plummer was quite good in the field when he used to be at his best.
Digging Into Detail
At present, Plummer works as a PAC-12 analyst for the network of the same conference, which he started around 2013.
After leaving football, he has been a part of handball and has also taken part in several tournaments.
Bank Manager
He currently holds the position of the Chairman of the Board for MidSouth Bank and follows a stint on the Board of Directors.
This career can be considered quite a successful one post-NFL, as he is not at all content to rest on his laurels. In addition to that, Delhomme has been a spokesperson for the Bojangles fast food restaurant and has also been seen in many of their commercials.
Rich Gannon
Gannon was well-known to the world for his perseverance! His patience and endurance power made it possible for him to crawl back and make a place in Oakland, and this happened after many years when he used to be a spot-starter for the Redskins, Chiefs, and Vikings.
Everyone thought that he would never get the chance to be under center while being a part of the winning team, but a resolute Gannon proved everybody wrong when he finally became a part of the Raiders in 1999.
