About Brian Westbrook
Brian Collins Westbrook is an American former professional football player who was a running back for nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 2002 NFL draft after playing college football for the Villanova Wildcats. Following an eight-year career with the Eagles, in which he earned two Pro Bowl selections in 2004 and 2007, Westbrook signed with the San Francisco 49ers, for whom he played in 2010. Though he battled through several injuries, he holds the all-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record with 9,512 all-purpose yards, breaking the 9,301 yards accumulated by Brian Shay of the Emporia State Hornets. Westbrook became the only player in I-AA history to score 160 or more points in two different seasons and the first player in the history of college football at any level with 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in one season (1998).
