Saints set to see Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers once again

Posted Sep 24, 2017
After seven seasons elsewhere, Julius Peppers is back to scaring quarterbacks for the Carolina Panthers. And the 37-year-old seems to be picking up where he left off in 2009, even if he's in a different role. Playing as a backup behind starting defensive ends Charles Johnson and Mario Addison, Peppers still leads the Panthers with 2.5 sacks through two games. (NOLA.com)
