Carolina Panthers legend Julius Peppers may have been officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame almost two months ago, but the party hasn’t stopped yet.

During halftime of Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Panthers honored their local legend and all-time greatest sack artist. Peppers came home in a special ceremony and received his Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence – the icing on the cake of his undying football legacy.

Here are the best scenes from the memorable return to Bank of America Stadium. . .
