GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The news that Julius Peppers plans to play a 16th season is neither surprising nor a stretch.
If anyone can continue to produce at age 37, it’s the man who ranks No. 5 on the NFL's career sack list.
Longevity, durability and reliability have been his calling cards.
And it will be his legacy.
With the help of his agent and long-time confidant Carl Carey, who told ESPN that his longtime client will return in 2017, Peppers plans to use his remarkable career as a lesson for younger players.
