Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on April 21, 1983)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Tarvaris Jackson! From lighting up the field at Alabama State, to making your NFL debut with the Minnesota Vikings in 2006, you've always known how to keep fans on their toes. Your rocket arm and quick feet made every game exciting—sometimes even for opposing defenses!

Whether scrambling out of trouble or throwing touchdowns that left us cheering (and occasionally biting our nails), you brought passion and energy each time you stepped onto the gridiron. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer blitzes and more cake slices—because today you're definitely calling all the plays!
