A day after Cowboys legend Drew Pearson took went full WWE on Eagles fans at the 2017 NFL Draft -- which happens to be in Philadelphia -- Brian Westbrook returned the favor to start Saturday's proceedings. Westbrook, who played for the Eagles from 2002-2009, warned "If anybody from Dallas steps to this doggone podium, in my city, in my town, we're going to give him a true Philadelphia welcome!"
"If anyone from Dallas steps to this doggone podium..."@36westbrook + Brian Dawkins wasted NO time getting this crowd fired up. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/IkqXGpbACM

We're guessing Pearson, who has one more Super Bowl ring than the Eagles' organization, remains unconcerned.
This is greatness.@88DrewPearson you are greatness. #CowboysDraft

Brian Dawkins then stepped up and told Eagles fans not to worry about the haters before leading the crowd in a pre-Day 3 round of "Fly Eagles Fly."
As always, Twitter had thoughts on the matter:
Just a reminder that Brian Dawkins, Brian Westbrook and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles have never won a Super Bowl. Enjoy your day

Funny that Brian Dawkins and Westbrook are actually trying to undo that 3rd degree burn Drew Pearson threw down yesterday. #Cowboys
