The NFL Draft is an event. It is a life-changing experience for players, and who understands that the best? Former players. The Philadelphia Eagles are rewarding a franchise legend with a unique, exciting honor during this year’s draft.

Brian Westbrook will announce an Eagles draft pick

Westbrook was selected 91st overall in the 2002 draft. The former star running back will announce one of the Eagles’ draft picks this year. His selection will happen during the second or third round of the draft process. That’ll occur next Friday.

  • No. 54 overall

  • No. 98 overall

In eight years with Philadelphia, Westbrook totaled 9,785 all-purpose yards and 71 total touchdowns as a key component of the team’s production. He quickly elevated into a fan favorite during his Eagles tenure.
