DE – Julius Peppers, North Carolina (1998-2001): With 167 tackles and 30.5 sacks, he was too big, too quick, too effective, too athletic. He was a key part of the basketball team, and an unstoppable pass rusher for the football side earning the 2001 Nagurski, Lombardi and Bednarik. He was a two-time All-American and All-ACC force.
