In an article for The Players' Tribune, Peppers mainly focuses on his 10 seasons with the Carolina Panthers.
He gave a special thanks to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for "being an all-time great player and teammate ... and for making me believe that somehow, a Hail Mary can be a high-percentage throw."
Peppers ends his career with nine Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl appearance in 2004 with the Panthers.
