Delhomme signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints in 1997, and won a World Bowl championship playing in NFL Europe between his 1997 and 1998 seasons with the Saints. Delhomme was the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers from 2003-2009, leading the Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVII in his first season with the team and connected with Muhsin Muhammad for an 85-yard touchdown pass in the game, the longest pass in Super Bowl history. Delhomme held most of the team’s passing records until Cam Newton recently broke them, and also played for the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans in a 14-year NFL career.

Mitchell spent his NFL career as a receiver and kick and punt returner and is second all-time in total yardage behind Jerry Rice, with most of those yards coming on returns (14,014 kickoff return yards, 4,999 punt return yards). Both of those return figures are NFL records. In his 14-year career with the Washington Redskins, Philadelphia eagles and New York Giants, Mitchell earned first-team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl spot in 1995 and played for the Super Bowl XXVI-winning Redskins in 1992.
