Brian Westbrook

Brian Westbrook is a retired NFL running back who played nine seasons in the league, eight of them with the Philadelphia Eagles and one with the San Francisco 49ers. Westbrook rose to fame in college during his time at Villanova University, where he completed dominated the other competition in his four seasons at the school. Westbrook is considered one of the greatest collegiate running backs of all time, as he currently holds the NCAA all-time rushing yards record, and he scored 84 touchdowns in 46 career games. Following his graduation in 2001, Westbrook was considered one of the best running back prospects in the draft, but he was not selected until the third round by the Philadelphia Eagles due to his rash of injuries. Westbrook would reward the Eagles immensely for taking a risk on him, as he was voted to two Pro Bowls and was one of the league’s top running backs during his tenure in Philadelphia. In 2010, Westbrook was cut from the Eagles, landing in San Francisco where he would spend one season before retiring. In just nine seasons, Westbrook ran for over 6,000 yards with 41 touchdowns.
