Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on February 14, 1972)

Happy Birthday to Drew Bledsoe, the quarterback who perfected passes faster than most people perfect their morning coffee! From your game-changing days with the Patriots and Bills, to launching big plays downfield like fireworks lighting up a Fourth of July night, you've always been more spectacular than birthday candles on cake.

Although Tom Brady might have "borrowed" your starting role once upon a time, we haven't forgotten it was you who laid that strong foundation. Cheers to an NFL icon whose arm talent made Sundays thrilling—hope this year is filled with as many victories off-field as touchdowns thrown during your remarkable career!
