Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on March 22, 1969)

Happy birthday, Russell Maryland! From being the 1991 NFL Draft's first overall pick to stuffing running backs and quarterbacks like Thanksgiving turkeys, you truly made the Dallas Cowboys' defense legendary. Your unstoppable power at defensive tackle helped guide your team through three Super Bowl victories, dominating opponents one sack and one tackle at a time.

Even today, fans smile remembering your outstanding Pro Bowl year in '93 when nobody dared run up the middle against you. Wishing you another year as strong and unshakeable as your presence on the front line—just try not to flatten anyone blowing out candles!
