Julius Peppers hates children, tries to stop Cam Newton giving TD ball to kids

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Cam Newton has a tradition since he’s arrived in Carolina: Every touchdown ball is given to a kid in attendance. It’s an awesome moment for fans and an unforgettable moment for these children. Former Panther Julius Peppers was having NONE of it, playing keep away with Newton and tossing the ball aside. It’s clear: He HATES children.

You can’t beat Cam that easily, though. He’s always going to win this battle.
