Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on April 18, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Willie "Nasty" Roaf! With a legendary NFL career spanning thirteen seasons from 1993-2005 with the Saints and Chiefs, your unmatched strength and tenacity on the offensive line gave defensive linemen nightmares. Whether flattening opponents to create running lanes or standing firm as an impenetrable wall protecting quarterbacks, your performance made highlight reels—and bruises—too numerous for opposing teams.

Though known affectionately (and fearfully) as "Nasty," we can't help but laugh at how nice a legend you've become in retirement. Today, we're celebrating those memorable pancake blocks and eleven brilliant Pro Bowl appearances; achievements that truly earn you extra slices of birthday cake today!
