He was a three-time All-Pro selection and ranks fourth in NFL history with 159 1/2 sacks, finishing in the top 10 in the league in sacks six times.

Muhammad spent 11 of his 14 NFL seasons with Carolina and was chosen All-Pro in 2004. He remains second in franchise history with 696 receptions, 9,255 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns behind only Steve Smith Sr. Muhammad caught an 85-yard touchdown pass in Super Bowl 38 against New England, setting a record for the longest catch in Super Bowl history.
Both are Walter Payton Man of the Year award team winners.
"Muhsin Muhammad and Julius Peppers were drafted by the Panthers. Both became All-Pros here. Both came back to Carolina to finish their careers. This is another homecoming, a permanent one," Panthers owner David Tepper said in a release.
Peppers and Muhammad join previous members in the Hall of Honor, including former team president Mike McCormack in 1997, linebacker Sam Mills in 1998, the team’s PSL owners in 2004, and Smith, quarterback Jake Delhomme, offensive tackle Jordan Gross, and tight end Wesley Walls in 2019.
