Peppers apologizes for a lack of effort

24

Julius Peppers stunned the team recently by giving a five-minute, written-out speech to his teammates. Centered around his own self accountability, Peppers realized it was time to look at the man in the mirror and take responsibility for his actions on the field. He told the team he went home, put in tape of every game they've played thus far and was extremely disappointed in the man he saw on film. He admitted he needed to make a change immediately, change from the man who had disappointed himself thus far.
