Reflection: Two decades of Julius Peppers
Posted Feb 6, 2019
Twenty years after he arrived at UNC as a tight end, Julius Peppers has announced his retirement. His career took him through two positions and a second sport at UNC, and a pair of stints on the Carolina Panthers. “Only time can reveal what’s next,” Peppers said in a goodbye message, “but my time here is up. No regrets, no looking back and nothing left to give.”
