we can only ask what if Brian Westbrook is one of the most Philly athletes ever let's go Little Boots after finishing his college career at nearby Villanova as the ncaa's alltime leader in allpurpose yards Westbrook was drafted by the Eagles in 2002 option this looking down Field West right on the money here's Westbrook breaks it down inside the 40 still on his feet Westbrook wow at the 25 yd line

bowler had the fifth most allpurpose yards in the NFL from 2002 to 2010 Westbrook was a key cog in the Eagles playoff runs in the 2000s helping Philly earn four straight NFC East titles he posted five straight years of a thousand plus scrimmage yards during that stretch Philadelphia finished top 10 in total offense half the time Westbrook was there his best season came in 200 seven when he paced the league with over 2100 total yards earning a first team All Pro appearance Westbrook set new franchise records for catches and scrimmage yards in a season mcnb flips it to Westbrook look at that look at that unbelievable Brian Westbrook has now gained more yards from scrimmage in a season than any player in Eagles history the menacing leavon Kirkland is part of a long line of great Steeler linebackers from 1993 to 2002 he recorded the fifth most combined tackles in the league Pittsburgh's standard is championship football right so it's no surprise the hulking linebacker led the Steelers

around uses his speed he makes the sack Elway guns the ball intercepted by leavon Kirkland turnover on the second play of the game Kirkland closed his career in Philly where he helped the Eagles reach the NFC Championship Game the two-time pro bowler finished his great career with over a thousand combined tackles despite how great Arion Foster was during his 8-year career one thing slowed him down injuries he wouldn't belong on our list if he played more than two full seasons but from 2009 to 2016 Foster total the fifth most touchdowns in the NFL Patrick with ti he fires and the catch is made and Arion Foster takes it all the way for a Texans touchdown fourth at a foot and a half and Aron Foster nowhere to go BRS a tackled touchdown Just sh it off in time as Foster breaks down the sideline uses his blockers still going for the touchdown and if you just look at his Peak from 2010 to 2012 Foster comfortably led the league in yards from scrimmage and total touchdowns with a gliding running style that often looked effortless Foster helped lead the Texans to back-to-back playoff trips in 2011 and 12 and now it is Foster cuts to the outside and Arion Foster is inside the 20 the 10 to the

he short yeah they didn't gain anything and look at the reaction of Brian Cox so out of control he bumps into the linesman but that's one of the features that made him such a great player playing for five different teams over his 12-year career Cox brought unparalleled aggression at the linebacker position Zack loose ball Miami has it and Amman hit as he throws it's a loose ball that is picked up in the end zone and Brian Fox living a dream right now on first down he's going to throw over the middle intercept it Brian Co touchdown the fifth round pick made a name for himself in Miami recording

dolphins were in playoff years he joined Bill Parcels in the Jets in 1998 helping New York get to the AFC title game bledo carries out the play fake and he goes down there's number seven beeder sacked at the 6yd line Brian Cox unabated to the quarterback his AFC East Tour continued in 2001 where he won a ring with the Patriots and even caught a pass from Tom Brady Brian Cox has lined up as a fullback how about that a linebacker making a nice catch all in all one heck of a linebacker surely Hines Ward is not a forgotten player in many minds but we're still going to give this Steelers Legend is flowers Cordell short set Hines Ward almost picked and then Wards with a circus catch off the tip great concentration by Hines Ward well here's rockburger going for Ward and he hits him in stride Ward with Samuel losing his footing he's going to take it all the way Ward etched his name in Pittsburgh history long before he became the franchise's all-time receiving leader in Super Bowl 40 the Steelers first Super Bowl win in nearly four decades Ward put on a show catching five passes for 123 yards including this beauty from Antoine Randall L here comes a gadget Play Randall L he can throw he was a quarterback in college and he's thrown a touch down the Hines Ward in the Super Bowl before his first Super Bowl win Ward registered a th000 receiving yards and a Pro Bowl appearance in four straight Seasons from 2001 to 2004 he later helped Pittsburgh win its second Lombardi of the decade in 2008 Ward was a fantastic playoff performer hauling in 10 touchdowns and 18 games freze himself LS it gets Ward and Ward is in for the touchdown right here look at that how do you stop so much momentum going One [Applause] Direction the toss inside the hin ward touchdown two Super Bowl wins sixis titles and eight playoff appearances in 14 seasons in the league not too shabby and did we mention this guy was one of the best blocking receivers we've ever seen improvising Heath Miller in stride and Miller down the sideline Hines Ward probably the best blocking wide receiver in football Ward ended his career with over 12,000 receiving yards putting him in the top 30 in NFL history former Eagle Niner Raider and buck Charlie Garner was one of the most elite satellite backs of the Y2K era as a dual threat he accumulated close to 11,000 scrimmage yards in his 11 Seasons Garner's career started in Philly where he posted a league best 5.4 yards per carry in 1995 in his second season to Garner Garner looked bounces to the outside 50 4540 3530 2520 g at the 10 five gter for the touchdown gner catches the corner and then just pure speed he helped power a top 10 rushing attack in four of his Five Seasons in Philly and that Trend didn't stop when he bolted for San Francisco in 1999 as the 49ers lead back Garner set a career high with 1,29 rushing yards most of them unsuccessfully they are dashing just dashing that defensive line the Cardinals have known for this having to come from behind and this is Garner and look at Garner who was in nobody's camp in July for the touchdown he was even better in 2000 making his lone Pro Bowl appearance close to 1,800 yards from scrimmage and 10 scores arcia drops Here Comes The Blitz Oh What A Catch by Charlie Garner a diving touchdown catch by Charlie Garner Garner then took his talents across the bay contributing to a Raiders Resurgence in the New Millennium he had his most productive year ever in 2002 racking up over 900 rushing and receiving yards as Oakland won the AFC Championship third and eight can the Steelers defense get off the field Garner no what a move by Charlie Garner holy cow what a run 40 30 he must have made four moves that just left people flat footed inside the the 31 good block by Sims time for genon right down the middle it's caught by Garner it's a foot race and he's in for the touchdown from 1999 to 2002 only Marshall Faulk had more total yards than Garner how many players can say they started their career with three straight first team All Pro Seasons well that's just what tight end Keith Jackson did from 1988 to 1990 Jackson there to make the catch and boy he is running with authority here the 27 here come the Giants McMahon is able to escape and then throws deep and the pass is caught by Keith Jackson and Jackson is inside the 10 for a touchdown LT looked up field to see what was happening and Jackson takes it in starting out in Philly kjck helped the Eagles make three straight playoff trips he led all tight ends in receptions and yards in 1988 also tying for first and touchdowns Cunningham's pass is caught again by Jackson Jackson goes in for the touchdown The Following Season he again paced the league in receptions among tight ends on his way to one of his five Pro Bowl selections Jackson went from Catching passes from Randall Cunningham to Dan Marino after he signed with Miami in 1992 he AR it down the middle again great catch Jackson stays on his feet touchdown Miami Dolphins Marino toward the end zone touchdown Keith Jackson off the beautiful and then Maro Johson he helped the Dolphins win two division titles and tied for the most touchdowns among all tight ends from 92 to 94 next came a stint in Green Bay where he became one of Brett Favre's favorite targets for their 1996 Super Bowl season oh Packer's going to want to try and score far fires down field Jacks it again Jackson scampers in his third touchdown of the first half in his final year in the league Jackson led the Super Bowl champs and TD catches no tight end had more receiving yards from 1988 to 1994 Simeon rice was built different Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1996 and eight seasons with double digit sacks doesn't get more dominant than that play action by bve brown with the rush coming in the sack Amman with good protection no it breaks down and Simeon rice got to it in fact from 1996 to 2005 nobody recorded more sacks than rice he registered a career best 16 A2 QB takedowns in 1999 making his first ever Pro Bowl third and four they need to get to the 19 the ball is out again Simeon rice siman rice has great speed he's a heck of a pass rusher the pass rusher extraordinary had nearly a third of Arizona sacks during his time in the desert after wreaking havoc with the Cardinals rice joined the Bucks making Tampa vaunted defense even more dangerous it's a second week in a row that Simeon rice has done that and knocked the ball out of the quarterback's handy they can get a first at the seven Garcia and that picked off Simeon rice the team shop in trouble the ball is loose it's a fumble and a recovery by Tampa Bay and a touchdown he was the cherry on top of the Sunday for a defense that featured four hall of famers rice helped Tampa register five top 10 defensive units he dominated in their Super Bowl 37 win over the Raiders accounting for two sacks second and 10 little pump fake and then he has to cover up and down he goes That's Simeon rice rice finished in the top five in sacks in five of his 12 Seasons play anybody you can get anybody in the f he even held a share of the league lead with six forced fumbles in 2003 get him in the hall already most know George Rogers as South Carolina's first and only Heisman winner but others know him as a rookie phenon Dave Wilson an end round reverse faked it's faked and here he goes George Rogers he's going to take it all away for the touchdown the first overall pick in the draft rushed for a then rookie record of 1674 yards in 1981 still a Saints single season High by the way Rogers finished to top the NFL in carries and rushing yards in that Sensational debut season but he didn't stop there averaging 96 rushing yards per game over his first three campaigns Wilson with the Quick Draw Rogers was a tremendous cut Rogers runs over people he's still on his feet Rogers being chased the 30 20 George Rogers went Coast to Coast George Rogers George Rogers look at him go look at him go there you saw the Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers doing his thing Rogers left the Bayou after four years to join Washington in 1985 he and John Riggins spearheaded the second best rushing attack in the league in The Following Season Rogers scored 18 rushing touchdowns tops in the NFL and it's Rogers Rogers pounds into the end zone Rogers will have a first down and more he'll have a touchdown from 1981 to 1987 he had more total touchdowns than Hall of Famers Walter pton and Tony Dorsett he went out as a champ winning Super Bowl 22 with Washington Trent green made a name for himself in Kansas City but what if he hadn't been injured in the 1999 pre season would he have gone on to win the Super Bowl be the face of the greatest show on Turf and earn a go jacket now we got Trent green down we've got Trent green down in the middle of the field Kurt Warner checks in certainly not where Trent green is and the kind of experience that green brought to this offense despite Green's altered fate he still became a successful NFL QB it took him a little while though as a late round pick in 1993 green bounced around before landing in Washington where he didn't become the starter until 1998 comes out green going deep into the corner for Westbrook he's got it Westbrook from Green touchdown now you can appreciate why this young man's got the yards he does the Rams saw enough of him to sign him ahead of that 99 season while he missed that Super Bowl campaign green filled in admirably for Kurt Warner in 2000 Trent green drills it touchdown Trent green going deep he's got a minute touchdown he reunited with dick verile as the Undisputed starter in Kansas City Green guided the Chiefs to two playoff appearances including an AFC West Title in 2003 right down the scene

the long one for kenis he's got him at the 10 the five touch down at Kansas City with an incredible victory in Green Bay today in overtime from 2001 to 2005 only pton Manning had more passing yards the two-time pro bowler quarterbacked a top five scoring offense on three occasions in a prolific era of Chiefs football nowadays green Graces your TV screens as a color analyst for the NFL on CBS you remember Steven Davis too oh good against in the bowl no three if Tom Brady remembers how good of a running back Steven Davis was you should too Davis started his career in Washington where he spent Seven Seasons working his way from the bottom of the depth chart to one of the League's best backs straight ahead is Davis still on his feet and he's gone if he's not down that's a touchdown they they didn't blow a whistle that is a touch that is a touchdown three wide receivers on second and 10 the pitch back to Steven Davis has a first down and more into Bears territory Davis with one man to beat Tom cter and he will take it all the way his first 1,000 yard season came in 1999 when he helped power the League's second ranked offense to an NFC East title Davis topped the NFL in rushing scores that year with 17 and led the league in yards per game in an elite stretch from 1999 to 2001 only Curtis Martin had more total rushing yards that as it goes to Second and seven and a big hole for Davis one man to beat ran wol and he can't get him touchdown Davis he started to cover the spring yeah this is Davis and Davis to the 10 Davis in the end zone after two pro bowl Seasons Davis took his talents to a promising Panther Squad in 2003 he notched his third Pro Bowl appearance rushing for a career-high 1444 yard yards now third and 10 from the 23 yd line they're going to keep it on the ground and Davis is going to spin to the outside and go in for the touchdown Davis with 10 yd rushing and Davis is breaking out there goes Steven Davis powered by a terrific one-w punch of Davis and DeShaun Foster Carolina made a historic run to their first Super Bowl birth Davis played 11 NFL seasons coming close to 10,000 yard from scrimmage you may know Ed mcaffrey from his son Christian but make no mistake pops could ball too Elway with the look he hit is Def it is caught caught by mafy talk about sticking it out McCaffrey's NFL Journey was anything but typical he played sparingly with the Giants in his first three years then rode the bench in San Francisco during their 94 title run he didn't find sustained success until he landed with John Elway in Denver Elway he is so quick goes to the end zone has his man touchdown Ed mcaffrey finally gets free and watching go up ball behind him and makes a nice catch he won his second Super Bowl in 1997 and had his first thousand yard season at the age of 30 how often do you see that mcaffrey was one of only seven players with 40 or more receiving touchdowns from 1996 to 2000 underneath What A Catch oh my third and 15 as he has to reach down for a bad snap going deep for maccaffrey who gets out in front beats double coverage maccaffrey to the end zone touch down under pressure flips it up field to mcaffrey makes the catch mcaffrey a heck of an effort maccaffrey breaks away from everybody in go for Denver he added two more thousand yard seasons in one of the League's best offenses even after La departed McCaffrey's best season came in 2000 when he had the third most catches in the league and set a career high with over, 1300 yards what a job stop find the open spot makes the catch and the bomb to maccaffrey complete go across the middle no he's not Aaron Glenn goes for the pump fake but really he goes for the route of B mcaer undersized cornerback Brent Grimes battled adversity as he navigated a path from division 2 football to the NFL perhaps his ball skills convinced people he could get the job done and Zone intercept it stepping in front bred Grimes with the tremendous 40in vertical leap stabs that with one hand undrafted out of Shippensburg University Grimes spent his first six seasons in Atlanta where he picked off 11 passes from 2009 to 2010 the same amount as Hall of famer's Ed Reed and Charles Woodson Mark Sanchez pass he's intercepted free oh what an interception by Grimes Atlanta had a top five scoring defense in 2010 winning the NFC South Grimes signed with the dolphins in 2013 and went on to produce three straight Pro Bowl campaigns he finished in the top five in interceptions during his three combined years in South Beach too he'll throw the quick throw to the outside and it's intercepted going the other way is Brent Grimes Grimes with blockers Brent Grimes is going to take it post to post touchdown Grimes ended his career on the other side of Florida playing for the bucks his 2016 season was masterful as he led the league in pass breakups and recorded his third career pick six doctor tiptoeing along the sideline is Bren grindes another legend in the Hall of very good Ernest biner is a name clevelanders don't forget infamously known for fumbling in crunch time in the 1987 AFC Championship most will say biner cost the Browns the game but the reality is biner was why Cleveland could crawl back into that game in the first place amassing 187 yards from scrimmage and two TDS to biner well thrown Ernest biner touchdown biner was a potent Runner and receiver over 14 NFL seasons in his time in Cleveland and later Washington he compiled five straight seasons of a th000 plus scrimmage yards he fires it is Adams got it juggled it grabbed it fumbled it picked up by biner he's to the 40 heast to the 30 heast to the 20 hard to believe touchdown by score and watch this berer breaks back who just makes a move on him he slips down while a Super Bowl eluded him in the 80s with that brown Squad biner captured football's Ultimate Prize with Washington in 1991 he made the second of back-to-back Pro Bowl trips that year after leading the NFL in touches in 1990 but he is going to get this thing in the end zone runs through that one he runs through that one he runs through that one second and nine at the 10 RI outside to B touchdown Ripkin at the end of his career he even brought joy to a new fan base in Baltimore this fourth quarter touchdown in week one of the 96 season sealed the Ravens first victory in franchise history 34y old Ernest biner wasn't going to be tonight biner totaled over 12,000 yards from scrimmage and 71 touchdowns in a fantastic career let's remember him for the great back he was before Chris Carter there was Anthony Carter and boy did he have some electric moments as a viking Wilson rifles at the Carter beautiful oh boy Richardson touchdown it will hang up for Anthony Carter dangerous man here he's gone forget about it is anytime he gets that football in his hands he's a threat to go all the way the thing about Carter that he is one of the most dangerous man in football no performance was bigger than the 1987 NFC divisional against the ners coming into Candlestick as a heavy Underdog Minnesota needed something spectacular to pull off the upset good thing they had number 81 pped pun it is CAU is it inbounds yes Anthony Carter hosting a then playoff record of 227 receiving yards Carter made ridiculous catch after ridiculous catch to lead one of the biggest upsets in NFL history that season Carter led the league with 24 yards per catch and secured his first of three consecutive Pro bowls 87 also started a run of three straight playoff appearances for the Vikings including a division title in 1989 great protection throwing for C oh play action by Ganon Ganon going deep Anthony Carter's there touchdown Minnesota Anthony Carter is still one of the extraordinary athletes in the National Football League Carter retired as Minnesota's all-time receiving leader he's since been overshadowed by guys like Chris Carter Randy Moss and Justin Jefferson but don't forget how special that guy was James Wilder as Tampa Bay's alltime Rush leader but you may not remember him so allow us to drop some knowledge this guy had 492 touches in 1984 the most ever in a single season guy pitch back Wilder fumbles but he retains it picks up the first down still at his feet the 20 to the 15 to the 10 and is in touchdown what a play Wilder here he goes again he can throw it looks for the tight end it is touchdown Tampa B find if James Wilder breaks away five in zone touchdown you do not arm tackle James Wilder Wilder amassed 2,229 yds from scrimmage that year and that still didn't even lead the league thanks to Eric Dickerson he was fantastic in the passing game hauling in 431 career catches Wilder notched four straight seasons of over a th000 scrimmage yards from 1983 to 1986 Edgar Armstrong made a big block and Wilder gets big yards and may score May he may he does swing it Wilder shakes one cler and scores the Bucks won just 29% of their games during Wilder's years with the club probably why we don't hear much of his name but he proved his worth gaining over 9500 total yards in his 10-year career as a first round pick in 1999 defensive end Patrick KY lived up to the billing throughout his 11-year career Kerney was a ferocious player with an endless motor and you could see that in all 82 and a half of his career sacks Bal look down the center the field Here Comes Ernie look at Patrick herney tell me he's not fired up and again it's Patrick herney and there he is who forced that issue herney produced four double digigit sack Seasons three of which came in Atlanta where he spent most of his career in the 200 four campaign the pro bowler recorded the fourth most sacks in the league as the Falcons made a run to the NFC championship game watch this just dip underneath remember runan has the bad knee and had no chance against Kerney on that one Kerney closed out his career in Seattle where he compiled his best statistical season in 2007 the Seahawks won the NFC West that year and boasted a top 10 scoring defense while kerney's 14 1 half sacks ranked second in the NFL Warner pressure they got him Patrick cerney 11 and 1 half sacks on the season scrambles out to his left being chased by KY the ball comes out and Patrick Kerney strips the ball away he had the sixth most sacks in the league from 2001 to 2007 he sits among names like Peppers freeny Taylor and Strahan in a Great era of NFL pass rushers forgotten indeed nobody in the history of the Green Bay Packers has caught more passes for more yards than Donald Driver despite being a seventh round pick he proved to be a coveted Target for both Brett Favre and Aaron roders second down at six and five has wide open Donald dri and dri gets him for the touchdown good protection wide open is Donald dri and he pitches it all gets away and is into the end Zone a touchdown for driver in nearly all of his 14 Seasons driver was part of a top 10 passing attack in the league often leading the charge in the receiving room his best season came in 2006 when he finished top five in catches and yards over the middle to driver Donald Driver breaks fre inside the 30 into the end zone for the touchdown Brett's going 82 yds too Brett with plenty of time down the middle of the field jump ball there's Donald Driver driver still on his feet touchdown pack driver helped nine Packer teams make the playoffs and won six division titles he made his fourth Pro Bowl in 2010 hoisting the Lombardi trophy at the end of the season driver quietly put up seven 1,000 yard seasons and played his entire career with the Packers unheard of for a white out today and here is driver behind the defense foot race still going Donald Driver for the touchdown Donald Driver just makes a play I mean one-handed going to the ground look at that concentration and Donald Driver does what we've seen just so many times before driver is considered a legend by cheese heads everywhere the Matthews family Roots Run Deep in the football world so it's no surprise Kay Matthews Jr spent a whopping 19 years in the NFL the kind of respect that Kay Matthews demands can only be earned through time and toil clay has amassed 1,659 career tackles and has been voted to five Pro bowls Matthews can say he's played the most games of any linebacker in history 289 of them including playoffs to be exact Matthews also unofficially recorded the eighth most

division titles and making three AFC championships he spearheaded a defensive unit that placed in the top 10 against the p pass the run or in takeaways on 10 occasions Matthews played his last three seasons in Atlanta where the four-time pro bowler helped the Falcons make a playoff appearance in 1995 it took a while for Derek Mason's career to take off but when it did it was as consistent as it gets the fourth round pick established himself as a number one receiving option for nearly a decade but before that he was a star returner this is Mason from the 20 Midfield and there he goes 80 yd for the touchdown a year after making the Super Bowl with Tennessee Mason led the NFL with almost 2700 all-purpose yards in 2000 he finally began to Blossom as a receiver in 2001 Mason recorded eight
