Julius Peppers, Josh McCown make up lonely fraternity, but Panthers DE has upper hand
Posted Nov 28, 2017
It’s a lonely club, but a proud one. Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers, 37, and New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown, 38, make up two-thirds of the only members of the 2002 draft class still active in the NFL. The last is Dwight Freeney, 37, who just signed with Detroit. The two are close friends, Peppers said, and caught up before the game.
