Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on January 17, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Derrick Mason! You're officially catching up in age to your impressive career yardage—over 12,000 yards is no joke. Just remember, unlike defenders trying to cover you, birthdays are impossible to outrun!

From setting franchise records with both the Oilers/Titans and Ravens to leaving defensive backs scratching their helmets in confusion, you've always been a step ahead. May your birthday be filled with as many great moments as your legendary catches—and fewer tackles than you endured on Sundays. Here's hoping this year brings you more joy than a perfectly thrown spiral into the end zone!
