Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on January 11, 1976)

Happy Birthday, John Avery! You sprinted through defenses faster than most of us can blow out birthday candles. Your time with the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos may have been brief (1998-1999), but your speed left a lasting impression—rumor has it defenders are still trying to catch their breath!

Though it's been years since you dazzled NFL fans on Sundays, we know you're probably still outrunning everyone at family gatherings or grocery store aisles. Here's hoping this year brings as much excitement and joy as those unforgettable runs downfield.

Cheers to another lap around life's end zone—keep running strong!
