Prodigal son, best athlete in Panthers history, future hall-of-famer: Julius Peppers is back

Posted Mar 11, 2017
All hail Julius. At age 37, the prodigal son is coming home. Time to dig out that Julius Peppers jersey deep in your closet or else go find one at Goodwill for $5. The leading pass rusher in Carolina Panthers history is returning to the team he left rather messily seven years ago. Peppers had 7.5 sacks for Green Bay last season and is still quite effective.
