BOURBONNAIS – Bears defensive end Julius Peppers left the practice field Monday without addressing how his possible North Carolina transcript ended up on the school’s website.

Instead, Peppers signed a few autographs for children and headed off the practice field at Olivet Nazarene University without stopping to speak with reporters.

Peppers, 31, played at North Carolina from 1999 to 2001 and earned unanimous All-America honors as a junior. Although more than a decade has passed since he played for the Tar Heels, a link to what appears to be his college transcript surfaced late Sunday.
