Julius Peppers a good fit for Falcons’ puzzle
Posted Feb 24, 2010
Pass rush specialist Julius Peppers, a star for division-rival Carolina for the past eight years, is available. And he’s just what the Falcons need to revamp the defense. Peppers is a beast on the defensive line. He had 10.5 sacks last season and has averaged more than 10 per season in his career. Peppers just turned 30, but he’s still very effective, with at least three or four really good seasons left.
