Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on November 22, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Derrick Johnson! You're the only linebacker who can tackle age as fiercely as you tackled running backs. From your debut in 2005 with the Kansas City Chiefs, you've been intercepting birthdays like they're poorly thrown passes.

Whether it was your four Pro Bowl appearances or becoming the Chiefs' all-time leading tackler, you've always shown us how to dominate on and off the field. Here's hoping this birthday is filled with fewer bruises and more cake—because even legendary linebackers deserve a sweet victory dance once in a while. Keep tackling life head-on; you're still our MVP!
