Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme concluded his third straight day of throwing on Sunday by stepping up the length of some of his tosses. Delhomme, who hadbeen limited to throwing no further than 15 and 20 yards the first two days of camp, stretched that out on Sunday to 30 and 40 yards during individual drills.
His right arm looked strong and he didn't seem to favor it.
“Things are going well," Delhomme said. "We're on a good program right now and things are on the right course. I’m extremely, extremely pleased.”
Overall, Delhomme was pleased with how things went from a team perspective.
"I thought we had a good camp and there are a lot of new faces and a lot of young guys that want to work," Delhomme said. "There are a lot of rookies, so there are a lot of wide eyes. But that's good. They got a taste. Now they get to go home for a couple of weeks and realize they need to get in better shape and be ready to work when we come back in June because we work fast and get a lot in."
Delhomme hopes to begin throwing in team drills when players returns for three weeks OTAs (organized training sessions) in June. Either way, he's expected to be full go when the team reports to training camp in late July.
