Green Bay's Julius Peppers has done everything but get a ring

Posted Jan 18, 2015
Julius Peppers is tired of just getting close. And he's running out of time. The Packers linebacker has been one of the top defenders in the NFL for most of the last dozen years. He's been on eight Pro Bowl teams and six All-Pro teams and was the NFL's defensive player of the year in 2004. He was named to the NFL's team of the decade for the 2000s. But he didn't come to Green Bay to pad his Hall of Fame-caliber statistics. (Newsday)
