Julius Peppers' underrated skill: Blocking kicks

Posted Jul 30, 2024
Julius Peppers remains in the top 10 in league history in blocked kicks and extra points, with 13 combined. The 12 field goals and an extra point he blocked meant that 37 of some of the allegedly easier points to score went away for his opponents. Nine of Peppers' blocks came during his time with the Panthers, and one came against the Panthers. (Carolina Panthers)
