Julius Peppers' hallmark — quiet leadership

Posted Aug 2, 2024
When you're as good at football as Julius Peppers was, people expect you to lead. But if you're an introvert, or if you're young, or if you're surrounded by older players who are fine with all the attention, it's easier to fade into the background. His talents never allowed that on the field, because Peppers was easy to spot. His emergence as a leader took time to develop. (Carolina Panthers)
