Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on July 20, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Jordan Gross! We're celebrating a true Panthers legend who spent over a decade holding down the offensive line. Since being drafted eighth overall in 2003, you became Carolina's rock-solid protector—a feared wall to defenders and one of the toughest tackles to ever block for our beloved team.

From Pro Bowl appearances to anchoring playoff runs—including helping lead the unforgettable charge toward Super Bowl XXXVIII—you've cemented an incredible legacy filled with grit and humor alike. While nowadays your only blocks might be fending off retirement boredom or friendly neighborhood tailgaters, know you're appreciated greatly by fans everywhere. Enjoy your special day!
