Julius Peppers: 17 and Out

Posted Feb 1, 2019
Anybody who knows me knows I’m not big on words, so I’m just gonna get right to it. Seventeen years is a long time to be playing this game. It’s two careers for a lot of people. I’m thankful that I have been able to play so long and still be healthy. But as much as I would love to play forever, I know that I can’t. It’s gotta end at some point. That point is now. Today, I’m retiring. (The Players' Tribune)
