Posted Aug 29, 2018
Julius Peppers enters his 17th NFL season next week. Before he became a NFL superstar, Peppers was a Tasamanian Devil of a two-sport athlete. In the August 2001 issue of Sports Illustrated, Tim Crothers detailed the story of Peppers in a way only Crothers could do. Peppers, a native of Bailey, N.C., was heavily recruited out of Southern Nash high school for both basketball and football. (Dadgum Box Scores)
