Was Julius Peppers the NFL's Best Athlete?

Posted May 11, 2020
When Julius Peppers finally retired last year, it marked the end of an era for arguably the NFL’s best athlete. For almost two decades, the 6-foot-7, 295-pound athletic freak tortured offensive tackles and quarterbacks to the tune of 159.5 sacks. But before he ever lined up in a three-point stance, Peppers had already established a reputation as an elite athlete in other sports. (Sportscasting.com)
