Julius Peppers role will be very important for Panthers this season
Posted Aug 9, 2017
Julius Peppers is about to enter his 16th season in the NFL and turned 37 years old in January. Yet, teams are starting to rely on veterans not only as producers but as mentors for younger players. The Panthers didn’t bring Peppers back to just be a high-priced coach. They believe he still has ability. Peppers has had at least seven sacks in every season but one.
