Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on May 23, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Gary Brackett! You tackled birthdays just like you did opponents—fearlessly and with style. From your relentless defense to that unforgettable Super Bowl XLI victory in 2007, you've always known how to make an impact on the field (and probably at birthday parties too!).

Even though it's been a while since your Colts days from 2003-2011, fans still remember every big hit and clutch play you made. Here's hoping this year brings as much excitement as lifting that Lombardi Trophy—and fewer bruises than tackling running backs.

Enjoy celebrating another winning season of life—you've earned it!
