Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on November 05, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Todd Collins! You spent 16 seasons in the NFL mastering the art of patience—waiting behind legends and stepping up when it mattered most. From your early days with Buffalo to clutch performances for Kansas City, Washington, and Chicago—you've always been ready to throw touchdowns or hold a clipboard like an absolute pro.

Your memorable run leading Washington into playoff glory back in '07 still brings smiles (and maybe some tears) from fans who remember those thrilling victories. Here's hoping this birthday is as smooth as one of your perfectly timed passes—and that you celebrate without any blitzes coming at you today!
