I was playing for the Packers and didn't know how long I would stay there, but I always knew that if I continued playing, I didn't really want to go anywhere else but Carolina. There was nothing else but home.

It was an emotional decision. A gut decision. I didn't study the roster, or look at any stats from last year or anything. It just felt right. The energy was right. I wanted to come home.

...

I'm playing every day for this locker room, and for these fans and our community. For my state. For the Carolinas. This is my home. I want us to celebrate a championship. Together.

That is a great read.  Pep has grown a lot.  Would have never thought we would get that kind of stuff from him a few years ago.  Also, love how he has become a leader....in his own way and time.  So great to hear him say how much he cares about the team.

The dingus should have never left

I'll admit I didn't want him back but I could not have been more wrong and he's been a big part of our resurgence this year.

Favorite football player of all time. My first football memories are of Pep at UNC. He's the first HOF player Ive had the pleasure of watching his whole career. Having him come home and win a ring... talk about full circle. I want it for him this year man. I really think this is the last year of our window. these next 6 weeks could be the wildest ride as fans in our whole lives. GET HYPE!!!!!

He wouldn't be the same if he hadn't.

He will play one more year unless you-know-what-happens.

 

 

I hope you-know-what-happens.
