the first award of his career.
Delhomme was named one of five nominees for an ESPY Award in the "Best Breakthrough" category. The other nominees for "Best Breakthrough" are Freddy Adu, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Michelle Wie.
For the past three weeks Cajun and Panther fans across the nation have had a chance to log on the World Wide Web and cast their vote for Jake. Now, they have an opportunity to see if one of Acadiana's finest will pick up the hardware.

Delhomme was nominated for his role in directing the Panthers to a division title and Super Bowl berth in his first season as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
