BRIAN WESTBROOK STATS

A Pro Bowler in 2004, Westbrook is described by QB Donovan McNabb as 'the ultimate weapon' for his ability to elude defenders as both a running and receiving threat. An explosive player that can make just about anyone miss in the open field, Westbrook currently leads the NFL with touchdowns (5) and ranks fifth in yards from scrimmage (420) despite playing in just three games. An all-around back, Westbrook also leads all running backs in receiving yardage (1,815) and receiving TDs (16) since 2003. He signed a lucrative 5-year contract in 2005 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2010.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Scampered 5 yards for a rushing TD vs. Dal. (10/8). Also contributed a team-high 5 receptions for 53 yards
  • Scored three touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving) with 117 yards rushing and 4 catches for 47 yards receiving at SF (9/24). It was the fourth time he has rushed for over 100-yards in his career and his 71-yard rushing TD was the longest of his career. It was the first time he had two rushing TDs in one game and the third time he had three touchdowns in one game. In addition, his 13.7 yards per touch was the best of his career
  • Rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown on 19 attempts and also notched a team-leading 7 receptions for 56 yards vs. NYG (9/17)
  • Posted 4 catches for 61 yards and a touchdown and also contributed 71 rushing yards on 17 attempts at Hou. (9/10). In addition, filled in at punt returner for an injured Reno Mahe, returning 3 punts for 25 yards. He is now ranked 3rd on the Eagles all-time list with 33 punt returns

    "He's made for big plays." That's how Cowboys coach Bill Parcells described Brian Westbrook. "He can run, catch and I'm sure he could throw if they let him. They can deploy him anywhere on the field and I think it takes a rare player to be comfortable with that."

    An explosive player in the run and pass game, Westbrook led the Eagles in rushing yards and receptions in 2005, one year after earning his first Pro Bowl berth. A third-round draft choice in 2002, Westbrook was one of the most decorated players in NCAA Division I-AA history at nearby Villanova. "He's the ultimate weapon," said QB Donovan McNabb. "And talking to guys from other teams about his speed, playmaking ability, agility and the mismatches he creates just solidifies what I'm talking about."

    Westbrook earned a lucrative, five-year contract extension in 2005 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2010.
