94 years old (Born on June 11, 1930)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Johnny Bright—the man who tackled NFL expectations better than any linebacker ever could! While many settled for touchdowns and tackles, you dazzled us by choosing your own path north of the border. CFL stardom certainly looked bright on you—especially as the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 1959.Today we're reminded how gracefully you've run through both defenses and life decisions alike. They say turning down a big offer takes guts—but running away from linebackers took even more courage. Here's hoping this birthday scores higher than your pick (#5 overall!), with fewer bruises involved.
