Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on July 21, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Jon Asamoah! May your day be filled with more pancakes than an IHOP breakfast—after all, nobody serves up run-blocking specials quite like you did on the field. From your NFL debut in 2010 with the Kansas City Chiefs to bulldozing defenders out of the way, you've always been a lineman who knew how to clear paths better than GPS navigation.

Here's hoping this year brings as much success and joy off-field as you brought excitement and reliability on it. Keep tackling life head-on (or should we say guard-on?), because just like fine wine—or classic game film—you only get better with age!
