Julius Peppers was an amazing basketball player before he was an NFL legend

Julius Peppers was a freak for any era. He deserves to be recognized not only as one of the best NFL players of his time, but also among the great athletic marvels of his generation regardless of sport. For all of his talent on the gridiron, basketball was Peppers’ first love growing up in Bailey, North Carolina, just down the road from his eventual home in Chapel Hill. (SB Nation)
