We consider the nonminimally kinetic coupled version of DGP brane model, where the
kinetic term of the scalar field is coupled to the metric and Einstein tensor on the
brane by a coupling constant ζ . We obtain the corresponding field equations, using
the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker metric and the perfect fluid, and study the infla-tionary scenario to confront the numerical analysis of six typical scalar field potentials
with the current observational results. We find that among the suggested potentials
and coupling constants, subject to the e -folding N = 60, the potentials V (φ )= σφ,
V (φ )= σφ

and V (φ )= σφ
