Underrated? Dude went to 9 Pro Bowls, was a 6 time All-Pro, was named to TWO All-Decade Teams and retired with 160 sacks. If anything he got all the props he deserved
@@nathanielmanning1225 He put up 11 sacks 2 years ago. How is that not relevant? He didn't do a whole lot this year, but he's 4th all time in sacks. Had 2 years that he had less than 7 sacks. Peppers is one of the greatest to ever play DE. Period
He’s an older generation player like you never hear Larry Fitzgerald anymore about being the best it’s just the way football goes he’ll always be associated with the Urlachers, Lewis, people of that football era instead of this one the game essentially moves away from them after so long unless you’re a qb
Nathaniel Manning kid, only 3 players have more sacks than julius peppers all time. averaging 9 sacks over 17 years is amazing, what are you talking about?
@@Birdman32 Michael Jordan is not a greater pure athlete than Julius Peppers. He’s greater at his sport than Peppers; but Peppers is faster, stronger, and bigger than Michael Jordan.
Playing 2 sports in D-1 college. It wasn’t the most common thing to do back then, even if you had the talent. You usually focused on the sport you had the scholarship for. This dude excelled effectively at both! A natural jock/athlete!….#PEPPERS
Man, has it been this long? It felt like only yesterday. It was such a treat to follow his career throughout. It's athletes like this that make me wish they never retire and play forever somehow.
Literally the state of NC Deion Sanders or no Jackson. Two sport freak of an athlete, I remember my middle school gf hated peppers cuz that’s all I talked about lol. I was like well he plays both sports he’s year round killing fools.
I am not a fan of UNC, but JP was by far one of the greatest collegiate and professional athlete. I honestly believe he has been over looked. I know he’ll make to the HOF. If he is not a first ballot HOF’er; then the system is wrong. He was amazing at both sports. Honestly, he could have started in UNC BB and the NBA. He is a champion and a great man. Thank you for your dedication to the sports and humanity.
You guys should look into doing a video for Dwight Freeny. Both these guys were huge for me growing into football. I watched whatever I could get my hands on. This is an awesome video on. Thank you for this!
Pep was the most dominant defensive player I’ve ever seen play college football. You had to double him and have a RB waiting to chip block, or your QB was gonna have a bad day. Then he went to the basketball court and played like Charles Barkley. He could have gone pro in basketball too, but he didn’t spend much time working on his game. He made the right choice tho
Freak of nature, so blessed to watch him play ball.
6'7 280 pounds running a 4.6 40 yard dash. This man was a genetically created science experiment 🐐🐐🐐
Apparently this guys mad ^ lol 😂 but yes he’s amazing
koolcat420 ugly ass kid
My packers had him with mathews and they were great those 3 years
He loved racing other players too in the NFL
Would this have been Zion playing football?
Most underrated NFL player in history
philliplion1 him and also karlos dansby who has vetter stats then brian urlacher
Bill C-16 exactly he was great! Unfortunately just never got close to a ring.

A pure monster
Green bay packer great for brief stretch
Hes never spoke of with the millers macks and donalds but real nfl fans know who this man is
Lol because in his 18th year he’s a below average player he was good for a good few years but hasn’t been very relevant lately

Also he only had 159 sacks in 17 seasons that’s like 9 a season it’s consistent yeah but nothing too special

Julius Peppers is the greatest pure athlete in North Carolina history.
Are you jokin?? Michael Jordan..
Michael Jordan took this comment personally.
Not Ronald Curry lmao biggest recruit for football
@@Birdman32 Michael Jordan is not a greater pure athlete than Julius Peppers. He’s greater at his sport than Peppers; but Peppers is faster, stronger, and bigger than Michael Jordan.
Ronald Curry had most hype in program history

Julius Peppers 💪, future Hall of Famer, respect.
Loved him on Packers wish he got a ring !!
One of the greatest athletes ever!
Much respect to this legend!

Those early 2000's defenses had some playmakers on them
North Carolina needs players like him again.
They don't just grow on trees. He's one of the best all time in the NFL.
koolcat420 are you just on everyone’s comments trying to make someone mad?
Players like him are rare tho
We had Two that UNC will forever be Proud of L.T nd Peppers.
Yes we really do
it’s amazing he was this great using basically no pass rush moves
A monster before his time

Love JP. Number 49 on the field. Number one in our hearts!
I stood beside him in Players one night, it felt like he had his own gravity!
My idol growing up in Middle School
Great athlete!
My college professor graduated with him. He said he would carry kids on his back into the end zone in HS lol 😂
He should of had five sacks the UVA game but the QB fumbled. Best DE PERIOD.
Imagine being in a war and having a sword and shield and seeing this guy on the other side running at you.
People forget that he was a CRAZY BEAST in football! But he was good on football as well.
sholove Sholove ...so, you’re saying he was good in football? 😂
@@Travis4Rice 😂😂😂😂Sorry for the typo! I meant basketball!😂😂😂😂Nice catch
Wish Carolina would bring back the helmet stickers!
He was waaaay more ahtletic than his competition. Wasn't even fair

I NOMINATE JULIUS PEPPERS UNC'S "GOLDEN-TARHEEL" 👍😎
HOF
Salute to the 🐐

Then he went to the basketball court and played like Charles Barkley. He could have gone pro in basketball too, but he didn’t spend much time working on his game. He made the right choice tho
17 season of THE FREAK will be miss best defensive player at UNC since L.T = H.O.Fame
He also played and got decent minutes for the star Heels’ basketball team.🤷🏾♂️
Whenever the NCAA Football game comes back...and if they have a ALL UNC team. Peppers and LT will be playing together 😳🥺💀
The real Ju Ju! Damn he was great...
Hall of Fame now !!
Young beast
The reason I wore #90
Multiple times wanted him in the NBA
my favorite DE💪💪💪
Now NFL HOF
Well deserved
The 🐐
Remember seeing him dominate in 2014 with clay mathews when packers went 13 and 3
So satisfying watching him bully QB’s
GOAT UNC DE.
He should have won the Heisman in 2001.
Only player I ever seen that could play in the NFL or Nba
Was he a good shooter tho? 6"7 is SG height in NBA.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
He should have got a Superbowl..
Maybe Jacksonville Jaguars got the next Pepper #44😁(Smooth)
“Dennis Rodman as a tight end🪵🐝🔥“
👀
Julius is a lion playing with gazelles
It had to be 420
Where is his Pick 6 at Oklahoma?
Fostercare mirror ads
