Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on January 29, 1968)

Happy Birthday, John Hudson! You spent a decade snapping footballs and dodging tackles in the NFL trenches—proving that centers truly are the unsung heroes of every touchdown. From your days anchoring the line for the Eagles, Jets, and Ravens (1990-2000), you showed us all how to handle pressure with grace—and maybe a little sweat.

Even though you've traded helmets for birthday hats now, your legacy still snaps into place perfectly. May your celebrations today be smoother than any snap you ever delivered and filled with fewer blitzes from hungry linebackers. Here's to another year of laughter, good health, and no false starts!
