Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on January 18, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Julius Peppers! You're the only guy who could sack quarterbacks with such style that even they wanted your autograph afterward. From dominating college football as an All-American to terrorizing NFL offenses for nearly two decades, you've made defensive linemen everywhere proud—and offensive coordinators lose sleep.

Whether it was your legendary interception returns or those unforgettable sacks (159.5 career sacks—seriously?), you always brought excitement and humor to the game. Retirement might mean fewer tackles, but we bet you're still chasing down birthday cake faster than any quarterback ever ran from you! Here's wishing a legend another year of greatness and laughter ahead!
