My favorite Eagle of all-time will be taking on a new organization this fall. Brian Westbrook was officially released by the Philadelphia Eagles.
All of you who have lived through this decade as young Eagles fans grew up with Brian Westbrook in the back-field. I was lucky enough to watch him in many games when he played for Villanova. There’s a reason this man was my favorite player ever.
Always humble, always giving, and always running, Brian Westbrook exemplified work-ethic and humility in a league that could use a lot more players like him.
Even so, “No Country For Old Men” strikes again. Westbrook will not likely retire a Philadelphia Eagle. I hate to see him go, but I wish him the best. Everyone knew this was coming.
So, one final time, Brian Westbrook, my hat’s off to you. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Eagles and the city of Philadelphia in nearly a decade of service.
