Julius Peppers doesn’t say much, so when he speaks you should listen.
The now-retired former Panthers defensive end has a public service announcement for folks who either haven’t gotten the message or just don’t seem to understand: stay home. Here’s what he had to say on Twitter this morning about people who aren’t doing their part by social distancing.
Some of these folks just don't listen at all. They tell y'all to stay home but you still out doing the most. I don't wish misfortune on nobody but some of y'all goin have to learn the hard way. #StayHome

North Carolina’s governor Roy Cooper issued a stay-at-home order for at least the next month. You can learn more here.
Peppers is now working as a special assistant for the Panthers on the business side. He has also done some very compelling work breaking down film for the official team website.
Peppers announced his retirement on Feb. 1, 2019, so he will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2024. He has a strong case. Peppers ranks fourth in sacks in league history, half a sack behind the great Kevin Greene.
