While several former Carolina Panthers are part of the NFL Hall of Fame, the first one to be drafted by the team, an OG if you will, was finally inducted this weekend. The 2nd overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, defensive end Julius Peppers, was given his jacket.
It was fun to watch Peppers do a speech as someone who was notoriously a quiet player who never really got on the mic, if you will, as an NFL player. He ran through the usual stuff, thanking his mom, father, siblings, and agent.
