Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers has long since proved he is an uncommon man.
On Sunday, the 37-year-old freight train became one of just four players in NFL history to amass 10 or more sacks in at least 10 seasons.
Peppers reached the milestone by combining with defensive end Mario Addison on a sack of Peppers’ old teammate, Aaron Rodgers, on a huge fourth-down stop in the fourth quarter. The two are now tied with a team-high 10 sacks apiece.
After, Rodgers shook Peppers’ hand and patted him on the helmet.
