As would be the case with any true great of a franchise,  Brian Westbrook leaves behind a pile of amazing numbers

He is the franchise leader in receptions, receiving yards, & receiving touchdowns for a running back. He holds the team record for career yards from scrimmage and touches. He holds the team record for playoff rushing yards. He holds the single season records for receptions & yards from scrimmage.

Since 2004 he leads all NFL running backs in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and yards after the catch. He is also the only active player with at least 20 receiving touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns.

He was 5 yards shy of 6,000 rushing yards for his Eagles career. He amassed 66 touchdowns, caught 426 passes, and only fumbled 8 times in 8 seasons.

One fumble per year, for a running back... That's amazing for any running back, but especially for a guy who has touched the ball more times than any other player in franchise history.

He's the best. Don't really know what else to say. One of my top 5 Eagles of all time.
