Brian Westbrook bio

Brian Collins Westbrook (Born on September 2, 1979 in Fort Washington, Maryland) is an American football player who currently plays running back for the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. He is considered one of the most consistent players, in terms of yardage, in the NFL. He is also one of the most elusive backs in the NFL, and is excellent at catching passes out of the backfield or as a slot receiver. For this reason, he is often compared to Marshall Faulk.

2006 NFL

Westbrook resumed his high level of play in 2006, despite earlyinjury concerns over knee swelling. With a season-ending injury to McNabb on November 19, 2006, Westbrook stepped up and became the keystone of the Philadelphia offense.

On November 26, 2006, he became the first Eagle to rush for over 100 yards in three straight games since Wilbert Montgomery did it 25 years earlier.

He set a career-high in rushing yards with 1,217, topping 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. He also lead the team with 77 receptions with 699 receiving yards. His eleven total touchdowns (7 rushing/4 receiving) were also tops on the Eagles.

On January 7, 2007 Westbrook set a career-postseason rushing record, rushing for 141 yards on twenty carries against the New York Giants.
