Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on September 09, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Slater! You're the only guy who can make special teams look cooler than offense or defense. Ever since your UCLA days—where you dominated both sides of the ball and earned that All-American nod—you've been proving that fifth-round picks can become first-rate legends.

From clutch tackles to electrifying returns, you've turned special teams into must-watch TV. Patriots fans know when number 18 hits the field, something epic is about to happen—or at least someone's getting tackled really hard. Here's hoping your birthday is as memorable as your countless Pro Bowl appearances and championship celebrations. Keep running circles around Father Time!
