REPORT: Carolina Panthers Assign Former NFL Linebacker Julius Peppers as the New Linebackers Coach

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a move that has electrified the fanbase and turned heads across the league, the Carolina Panthers announced today that franchise legend Julius Peppers has been named the team’s new linebackers coach.

Peppers, a nine-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer, spent the bulk of his iconic career terrorizing quarterbacks off the edge. Now, he returns to Charlotte with a clipboard instead of cleats, aiming to instill the same fire and discipline in a young Panthers defense that once defined the team’s identity.

“I’ve always felt like Carolina was home,” Peppers said at his introductory press conference, flanked by Head Coach Dave Canales and General Manager Dan Morgan — himself a former Panthers linebacker. “This time, I’m just bringing my experience to a different side of the game.”

While Peppers played primarily as a defensive end, his hybrid role in various schemes throughout his 17-season career gave him a deep understanding of linebacker responsibilities. “He’s a technician, a motivator, and he commands respect the moment he walks in the room,” Coach Canales said. “Our linebackers are going to benefit tremendously from his presence.”

Linebacker Frankie Luvu, now a veteran leader in his own right, was all smiles after the announcement. “It’s like being coached by a legend. Pepp’s still got that aura, but he’s also got this calm way of teaching that just clicks.”

Fans poured onto social media with messages of excitement, many hailing the move as a return to the Panthers’ roots — toughness, speed, and a defense-first mentality.

In the locker room, Peppers’ influence was felt immediately. He didn’t come in with speeches or slogans. He came in with film breakdowns, footwork drills, and quiet confidence. For the Panthers, this hire isn’t just a coaching move. It’s a statement: The heart of Carolina defense is beating again.
