Related Topics: Brian Westbrook, Eagles, Carry

Brian Westbrook is one of the best running backs in Eagles history. Rushed for 6,538 yards and 37 touchdowns. Averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Caught 426 passes and finished his Eagles career with a club-record 9,785 yards from scrimmage.

He also was really, really good at something else you won’t find in the record book. Despite being just 5-foot-8 and 200 pounds, he was a helluva blocker. I mean one of the best to ever come down the pike.

Saved Donovan McNabb’s butt many a time during his career by derailing blitzing linebackers and safeties intent on maiming No.
