Cotchery was a two-time all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection at North Carolina State and was drafted by the New York Jets in 2004.
Cotchery played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers. He finished his career with 524 catches for 6,623 yards and 34 touchdowns.
Cotchery joined the Panthers as receivers coach from 2017-19.
