Julius Peppers now an elder statesman for the Packers, still feels young

Posted Sep 13, 2015
Older, wiser — definitely more experienced — Julius Peppers is looking forward to his 14th NFL season. At 35, Peppers will be the oldest player on the field when the Packers visit the Chicago Bears in the longtime rivals' season opener Sunday. He considers that an honor. "I'm fortunate to be out here with all of these young guys, (so) I don't mind it," the pass-rush specialist said Friday. "In my eyes, it's a good thing." (Associated Press)
