Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on August 23, 1968)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Cortez Kennedy, whose explosive tackles were scarier than Seattle’s unpredictable weather! Watching you dominate offensive lines in that Seahawks jersey from 1990–2000 was like witnessing an action comedy—you never failed to make teammates cheer and opposing quarterbacks wince.

Whether earning eight Pro Bowl selections or being crowned NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1992, your unstoppable force on the field had fans laughing with joy—and quarterbacks scrambling for dear life. Cortez, thanks for turning defensive excellence into pure entertainment. May your birthday be as epic as those crushing game-day hits you've handed out generously!
