Julius Peppers is headed to the Pro Bowl for the ninth time in his pro career.
The Green Bay Packers rush-linebacker has been tabbed as a replacement for Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, whose team qualified for the Super Bowl on Sunday afternoon.
Peppers was a key contributor to a strong Packers pass rush throughout the regular season, finishing the year with a team-high 10.5 sacks.
The 36-year-old is now tied for ninth all-time with 136 sacks across his 14 seasons at the NFL level.
