Julius Peppers is a first ballot Hall of Famer

Julius Peppers has been elected as the 377th member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer and that is only befitting a man of his rare talent. Peppers is the fourth former Carolina Panther to be elected to the Hall, but he is the first Panther who made his name in the Carolinas to be elected.
