Westbrook hits our list at #8. He would be much higher but for one thing. The guy can not stay healthy. He was born in 1979 and came from one of my favorite local colleges, the Villanova Wildcats. He still owns 37 school records at Villanova.

Kolb stood in there and completed several key throws and Vick looked to be largely ineffective in his limited snaps in wildcat. Kolb hit DeSean Jackson for a 43 yard completion on the third offensive drive. Kolb then leapt in for HIS first rushing TD as [...]
