Following Delhomme's footsteps

J.T. O'Sullivan's career path has mirrored the development of Carolina Panthers Jake Delhomme.

The play of Frankfurt's New Orleans Saints allocated quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan has been somewhat overlooked among the strong performances by his team's pair of outstanding running backs, and over shadowed at his own position by Berlin's Rohan Davey.

However, the Galaxy passer has quietly been lighting up Europe with his own play, and he has continued to draw praise from NFL Europe coaches as well as the NFL scouts he impressed while in training camp in Tampa, Florida. Although he has received relatively little attention, he finds himself as the NFLEL's second-leading passer through five games, and he leads all quarterback with just one interception.

O'Sullivan was a sixth-round draft choice of the Saints in 2002, and after sitting on the bench for the past two NFL seasons he made it clear to Saints coaches that he wanted to come to Europe to get some playing time. Having seen the progress of Jake Delhomme, another Saints quarterback who was an NFLEL alumni, nobody in New Orleans was going to argue with O'Sullivan on the matter.
