Four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Randall Cunningham turned 50 on March 27, 2013, joining the likes of Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, who also celebrated the big 5-0 this year. Cunningham played 16 years in the NFL, retiring in 2002. He finished his career 21 yards short of 30,000 passing and 72 yards shy of 5,000 rushing. He spent 11 seasons in Philadelphia, from 1985 to 1995, and also made stops in Minnesota, Dallas and Baltimore. His scrambling skills as a quarterback paved the way for those who followed.
