Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on July 24, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Donte Whitner! From your Buckeye brilliance at Ohio State to being the eighth overall pick by Buffalo in 2006, you've always tackled life head-on—literally. Your hits were so legendary with the San Francisco 49ers (2011-2013), receivers still check under their beds for you before bedtime.

And let's not forget Cleveland Browns fans celebrating when "Hitner" arrived in town back in 2014; rumor has it quarterbacks across America breathed a collective sigh of relief upon retirement news. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer tackles and more cake slices—but knowing you, you'll probably tackle those too! Cheers!
