Julius Peppers: The sky's the limit

Posted Sep 11, 2005

On the eve of his fourth NFL season with the Carolina Panthers, things are becoming very clear. Peppers, who is still the shy 25-year-old who hails from the Bailey countryside, has no limitations. He's a chiseled defensive end, standing at 6-foot-7, 283 pounds, who once ran the third leg of a 4x100 state championship relay team. It's a combination of speed and size rarely, if ever, seen.
