‘Freak of nature’ Julius Peppers leading by example in return to Carolina
Posted Aug 3, 2017
Julius Peppers is not much of a talker. He’s never been a player to do many media interviews during his 16-year NFL career, but he doesn’t even say much to his teammates. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said while Peppers, who rejoined the Panthers this year on a one-year contract, isn’t very vocal, he leads by example. “He’s a quiet leader,” Rivera said.
