B.J. Raji, the Green Bay Packers’ nose tackle, is six years younger and 50 pounds heavier than 35-year-old pass-rusher Julius Peppers. But Peppers, at 6-feet-7 at 287 pounds, used to spend his winter months at North Carolina as a walk-on forward for the Tar Heels. That was years ago, but here he was anyway, charging through the lane and trying to dunk on Raji. (Washington Post)
