Saints set to see Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers once again

After seven seasons elsewhere, Julius Peppers is back to scaring quarterbacks for the Carolina Panthers.

And the 37-year-old seems to be picking up where he left off back in 2009, even if he's in a different role.

Playing as a backup behind starting defensive ends behind Charles Johnson and Mario Addison, Peppers still leads the Panthers with 2.5 sacks through two games. He also has a tackle for loss and four total quarterback hits.

So, when the New Orleans Saints prepare for Sunday's game in Charlotte, their new-look offensive must account for the veteran that has found a way to make plays in the backfield since 2002.
