North Carolina will always be home to Julius Peppers. But leaving ‘was life-changing’

Posted Aug 3, 2024
Former UNC football star Julius Peppers has nothing but love for the state of North Carolina. He said as much on Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours before he’d deliver his speech in Canton, Ohio, as a member of the class of the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame. He said that North Carolina is "a special place," and that "North Carolinians are special people." (AOL.com)
