Where are they now: Michael Westbrook

Michael Westbrook was the 4th pick from the Washington Redskins in the 1995 draft. Being in the NFL didn't really make Michael Westbrook happy, and for good reason too. The guy simply just had bad luck. He was injury prone, he only played one full 16 game season. The other seasons that weren't the complete seasons were very dismal ones, stat wise.

So what is he doing today? Fuck the NFL! Michael Westbrook has basically taken everything NFL-related out of his house and has concentrated on Mixed-Martial Arts. He currently holds a purple belt in Brazillian Jujitsu and hopes to earn his brown belt really soon. Michael also has the goal of achieving black belt within a couple years. Typically it takes about 10 years or so to become a black belt in Brazillian Jujitsu. DAMN!

Michael has already won national and Pan-Am championships. I was gonna say that he should have a try at the UFC and fight as a professional. Apparently he has already done that! He fought only one match in the UFC where he defeated former NFL player Jarrod Bunch.

Kudos to you Mr. Westbrook. You know sometimes the NFL isn't for everyone. You can be the shit in college, but just suck balls in the NFL. Glad to see that instead of going down hill, Michael Westbrook decided to turn things around and make things better for himself.
