Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on January 15, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Brandon Mebane! You're one defensive tackle who's been tackling candles and cake almost as fiercely as offensive linemen since your NFL debut in 2007. From being drafted by the Seahawks in the third round to stretching moves that made quarterbacks reconsider their life choices, you've truly mastered the art of defensive disruption.

Whether it was your massive contribution during Seattle's iconic Super Bowl run or your memorable years with the Chargers, you've always known how to make an entrance—and a tackle. May this birthday be celebrated like your greatest plays: relentless, energetic, and filled with plenty of cheers!
