Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 11, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Chris Cooley! You're the tight end who made catching footballs look easier than finding matching socks. From your unforgettable selection by the Redskins in 2004 to setting that impressive franchise record for tight-end receptions in 2011, you've always been a fan favorite—partly because of talent, partly because you rocked those short shorts like nobody else could.

Here's hoping your birthday is as legendary as your career highlights and filled with fewer fumbles than an opposing team's offense. May this year bring you joy, laughter, and plenty of opportunities to remind everyone you're still Washington's coolest "Captain Chaos."
