Carolina Panthers legend Julius Peppers may have been officially enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame nearly two months ago, but the party hasn’t stopped.
During halftime of Sunday’s Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Panthers honored their local legend and all-time leading sack artist. Peppers, in a special ceremony, came back home and received his Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence—the icing on top of his immortalized football legacy.
Here are the best scenes from the memorable return to Bank of America Stadium . . .
