Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on July 25, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Mel Kiper Jr.! The NFL draft guru whose hair game has remained as impressively consistent and iconic as your legendary player analyses! Since kicking off ESPN's Draft coverage way back in '84, you've single-handedly turned draft day into a national holiday. Your passion transforms ordinary college clips into Oscar-worthy highlight reels—let’s just say no one makes “upside” sound more exciting than you.

From boldly dissecting mock drafts to masterfully debating who's got the highest ceiling—or lowest floor—you've quarterbacked viewers through decades of picks and surprises. Thanks for turning armchair GM-ing into America's favorite pastime! Have an exceptional birthday that's definitely first-round worthy!
