Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on December 19, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Chris Kuper! From your rookie debut in 2006 to becoming the Broncos' offensive co-captain in 2010 and earning that well-deserved Pro Bowl nod, you've always been a rock-solid guard—protecting quarterbacks like they're family heirlooms. Seriously though, Peyton Manning probably owes you at least one pizza dinner for keeping him upright all those years.

Here's hoping your birthday is as legendary as your blocking skills and leadership on the field. May this year bring fewer blitzes from life’s linebackers and more touchdowns of happiness. Cheers to another season of greatness off the gridiron—you've certainly earned it!
