Julius Peppers keeps improving heading into fourth season

They are the kind of rub-your-eyes individual efforts that the folks who compile the nightly video highlights for SportsCenter dream about, the brand of plays that challenge the imagination and usually elicit an oh-no-he-did-not-do-that response, and beg to be replayed over and over and over again. A big, athletic man performs an unusual act -- like, say, intercepting a pass or recovering a fumble and then sprinting downfield with more speed than any 300-pound individual is meant to possess -- and it is supposed to be a singular and defining moment, right? Yet Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers made that very play three times last season. (ESPN.com)
