CHARLOTTE -- Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers was named to the NFL's All-Decade team, one of the 12 Pro Bowlers named to that squad.

Peppers has 81.0 sacks in eight seasons, all with Carolina.

The entire All-Decade team will be announced during ESPN's pre-Pro Bowl "Sunday NFL Countdown," special at 5:30 p.m.

It should be noted that the votes come from the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee. Which is Huge for Pep. he could end up being the Panthers first HOFer.

To bad the Panthers already have a Hall of Famer, REGGIE WHITE...Yea he could have gone in a Packer but in the Hall of Fame he's listed as a Panther..So Pep could be the 2nd DE going in for the Cats

The HOF lists all teams a player has played for. I don't count White as a real official Panther in the HOF.

No actually if you go to the Hall of Fame website, and go to Hall of Famers by team, Reggie WHite is listed as a Panthers HOF. What is so difficult to understand? When Peppers gets in they will say he is the Panthers second Hall of Famer. If you dont consider him one thats fine, but he really is there and theres no way to deny that. Call the Hall of Fame and tell them to remove him from the Panthers than if you feel so strongly about it. Im just stating the fact that the Panthers OFFICIALLY have a Hall of Famer already whether you like it or not..

Actually every player listed has each team they played for.

Case In Point Johnny Unitas is in the HOF as a Colt but is listed on the San Diego List

San Diego Chargers

(Los Angeles Chargers - 1960)

Lance Alworth (1962-1970)

Fred Dean (1975-1981)

Dan Fouts (1973-1987)

Sid Gillman (1960-1969, 1971)

Charlie Joiner (1976-1986)

David (Deacon) Jones (1972-1973)

Larry Little (1967-1968)

John Mackey (1972)

Ron Mix (1960-1969)

Johnny Unitas (1973)

Kellen Winslow (1979-1987)

Reggie White went into the Hall of Fame WITHOUT a team affliation. So techinally you are wrong. Reggie Played for Carolina but is NOT representing Carolina. Currently there are NO PLAYERS in the HOF that are sole affliated with CAROLINA.

If Peppers goes to the HOF and chooses Carolina he will be OUR 1st.

NFL | R. White will enter Hall of Fame with no team affiliation

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 23:36:18 -0700

Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Hall of Fame DL Reggie White will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame without a team affiliation. On the stage where induction speeches take place, White's mural will feature a portrait and an action shot. He will wear a Green Bay Packers uniform in one and a Philadelphia Eagles uniform in the either. Hall of Fame vice president of communications Joe Horrigan did not go into details on the layout of the mural, but said the three NFL teams White played for would be represented.
