He’s a Super Freak: Julius Peppers, at age 37, still amazes teammates
Posted Aug 4, 2017

At 6-foot-7 and 295 pounds, Peppers is larger than almost everyone else on any football field he steps on – a mostly silent superhuman who is the NFL’s fifth-leading sacker of all time and the leader among all active players.
