Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on September 09, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Dick LeBeau! You're the only guy who could blitz Father Time and still come out ahead. From pioneering the zone blitz to masterminding defenses that left quarterbacks sleepless in Pittsburgh, you've always been a step—or three—ahead of everyone else.

Your legendary 2005 Super Bowl victory with the Steelers remains unforgettable; you didn't just coordinate defense—you choreographed chaos on turf. Here's hoping your birthday is as timelessly brilliant as your defensive schemes—and may life continue giving you fewer surprises than opposing offenses faced against your playbook!

Cheers to another year of greatness from football's ultimate defensive genius!
