Julius Peppers gets milestone sack on Aaron Rodgers

Posted Dec 18, 2017
Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers has long since proved he is an uncommon man. On Sunday, the 37-year-old freight train became one of just four players in NFL history to amass 10 or more sacks in at least 10 seasons. Peppers reached the milestone on a sack of old teammate, Aaron Rodgers. After, Rodgers shook Peppers’ hand and patted him on the helmet. (Charlotte Observer)
