Posted Oct 2, 2023
Julius Peppers is fourth on the NFL’s all-time sack list with 159.5 and second all-time in forced fumbles. On the hardwood, Peppers played two seasons at UNC from 1999-2001. Octavus Barnes played two seasons in the NFL as a receiver for the Atlanta Falcons and played basketball at UNC in 1994-95. Note: The omission of Ronald Curry is a glaring oversight.
