Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on July 16, 1946)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Ron Yary—Hall of Fame tackle, iron wall for the Minnesota Vikings and later a proud L.A. Ram. For seven Pro Bowls and eight All-Pro nods, you defended quarterbacks like Fort Knox protecting gold bars. Defenders tried everything but called it quits once they faced your famous blocks.

Your career was one highlight reel after another—tackling challenges head-on, earning victories with strength and pure grit. Linemen rarely get glory moments—but we can all agree every quarterback slept better knowing big Ron Yary was there holding down the line! Enjoy your special day, champ!
