76 years old (Born on April 10, 1948)
Happy Birthday to Mel Blount, the legendary cornerback who intercepted footballs like most of us intercept birthday cake—swiftly and without remorse! With 57 career interceptions, four Super Bowl rings, and five Pro Bowl selections under your belt, it's clear you spent more time catching passes than receivers did. Rumor has it quarterbacks still wake up in cold sweats thinking about throwing near you.Mel, you've set a standard so high that today's defensive backs are still trying to climb your mountain-sized legacy. May this birthday be as timeless as your iconic cowboy hat—and may no one dare challenge you for the last slice of cake!
