The Panther offensive tackle was born on this date, July 20th, in 1980. Jordan Gross was the 8th overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, and has earned two trips to the Pro Bowl in his time with the Panthers. He anchors the left side of a talented offensive line that includes fellow Pro Bowler Ryan Kalil.

Before last year, Gross only had to run block for the two-headed monster of running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Now that Cam Newton has arrived, Gross has his work cut out for him. On his birthday, we look back at when he was wired-for-sound during the Week 11 matchup against the Lions in 2008:

No such thing as a happy birthday in pro sports. So much of how much money they make is based on how young they are.

Greatest mic'd up in history. The video had like 2 lines spoken by Gross...

[Argus Plexus]

A man of few words, but many good blocks. God, that running attack was unstoppable. If we could get the O-Line to perform at that kind of a level this season this offense is #1 in the league hands down. Real talk.

I hope 69 got some 69 yesterday.
