Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on February 29, 1944)

Happy Birthday, John Niland! You always knew how to block trouble before it started—especially when those pesky defensive linemen thought they'd have an easy afternoon. Thanks for consistently protecting quarterbacks and making rushing yards look effortless, whether rocking Cowboys silver or Eagles green.

From the glory days on the front line from '66 to '75, your fearless dedication inspired teammates and thrilled fans. May this birthday be filled with joy smoother than your legendary blocks—and cake sweeter than knocking rivals downfield. You're still a champion in every playbook; here's hoping today you celebrate another victorious year ahead!
