2006 season
Peppers would again record two dominating three-sack games during the season, his first against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, in which he recorded 8 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 stuff, 1 pass defensed, and 1 blocked kick. Peppers was so dominant against the Vikings he looked like the second coming of Reggie White. Peppers looked unblockable, but despite Peppers great performance the Panthers fell to the Vikings 13-16.  In Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns, Peppers, who was playing with a sore ankle, would be a nightmare all game long for quarterback Charlie Frye and the Browns offensive line. Throughout the game Peppers would record 5 tackles one being for a loss of yards, a sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery on the same play, 5 other quarterback hits and a pass defensed in which Peppers made an extremely athletic play. Browns fullback Lawrence Vickers took a handoff right but pulled up to pass the ball, Peppers, playing left end, read the play before it began to develop, sprinted downfield and tipped the ball away from tight end Kellen Winslow II. Peppers dominant play helped the Panthers defeat the Browns 20-12.  In Week 6 against the Baltimore Ravens, Peppers became the Panthers' all-time sacks leader after registering 2 sacks during the game. Peppers also had 8 tackles and a forced fumble in yet another game that Peppers looked like the most dominant defensive player in the NFL. Peppers was double teamed and chipped by running backs throughout the game, and appeared to be held several times albeit without any being called, to try and slow him down. It didn't work as Peppers wrecked the Ravens offense by pressuring the quarterback, and once causing a rushed throw that resulted in an interception. Peppers was also flying around the field with speed and agility unheard of for a man his size, coming from the opposite side of the field on multiple occasions to tackle Ravens Running Back Jamal Lewis, and other Ravens ball carriers. Peppers disruptive play helped the Panthers defeat the Ravens 23-21.  In Week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Peppers recorded 4 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 pass defensed, and one fumble recovery in helping to defeat the Buccaneers 24-10.  Peppers was so dominant in the game that ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Joe Theismann compared him to Lawrence Taylor, whom Joe had played against while he was a Quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and Taylor a Linebacker for the New York Giants. Taylor ended Theismann's career when he broke his right leg during a Monday Night Football game in 1985.  Peppers earned the NFC Defensive Player of the Month Award for the month of October, 2006, his second such award. Peppers finished the season with 49 solo tackles, 9 assisted tackles, 13 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 6 passes defensed, 7 stuffs, and 2 blocked kicks. For his efforts, Peppers earned a trip to his third consecutive Pro Bowl and was also named NFL First-Team All Pro for the second time in his career.
