Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on January 24, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Brian Cushing! You're the only linebacker who could tackle Father Time and still look intimidating doing it. Ever since you stormed onto the NFL scene in 2009 as Defensive Rookie of the Year, you've been making quarterbacks reconsider their career choices.

Your epic 2011 season—earning All-Pro honors and being crowned Houston Texans' Team MVP—is legendary enough to make Chuck Norris jealous. May your birthday be filled with fewer tackles (unless it's cake) but just as much dominance off-field today. Keep crushing life like you crushed offenses; age is clearly too scared to slow you down!
