Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on May 17, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Matt Cassel! The man who stepped into Tom Brady's shoes and made it look easy—well, almost. Your legendary 2008 season with the Patriots proved that even backup quarterbacks can shine brighter than stadium lights. Who knew a knee injury could launch such an epic career?

From New England to Kansas City and beyond, you've shown resilience on every snap (and sack). While some QBs chase rings or records, you chased greatness—and occasionally defensive linemen chasing you back! Here's hoping your birthday is as memorable as your unexpected rise to stardom; may no linebackers crash this party!
