Sunday will be giving us more than just a glimpse into the future, as this year’s top two overall picks in Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud are set to go head to head in Week 8. It’ll also give us a trip back to the past, as the Carolina Panthers will be inducting a pair of franchise legends even further into franchise lure.
One of those legends is Julius Peppers—a six-time All-Pro, nine-time Pro Bowler and the fourth-leading sack artist in NFL history. So, before the Wilson, N.C. boy makes his eventual stop in Canton, Ohio’s Pro Football Hall of Fame, he’ll be making one in the Panthers Hall of Honor.
To celebrate, let’s take a look back at some of the best photos from Peppers’ storied Carolina career:
