Worley, Tim

Pro Set 1989, #511

CARDS: Action Packed 1990, Fleer 1990, ProSet 1989
ACQUIRED: 2023, Paid Signing

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Tim Worley played RB from 1985-89 at Georgia.
  • Despite playing only 2 full seasons for the Bulldogs, he finished his college career with 2038 yards on 353 carries (27 TDs).
  • Worley was a first round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers (7th overall) in the 1989 NFL Draft.
  • A ground and pound offense under HC Chuck Noll, Tim Worley was well suited for the system rushing for 770 yards in his rookie season.
  • In 1991, he was placed on IR for the season.
  • Subsequently he failed two mandatory drug tests and was suspended for the entire 1992 season.
  • He’d be traded to Chicago in 1993, and seemed to get back on track somewhat, rushing for 437 yards and 2 TDs during the season.
  • Played in only 5 contests though in 1994, and after being released decided to retire from the league.

ACCOLADES:

  • Georgia-Florida HoF 2007
  • Roberson County HoF 2011
  • Georgia SEC Legend 2013

NOTES:

Tim Worley’s career and problems parallel those of fellow RB and ’89 draftee Sammie Smith. Worley much like Sammie, had a fumbling problem, and had a career that fizzled due to a drug issue- as it was said that cocaine was Worley’s drug of choice.

Post football continued to spiral, and eventually had a run in with the law, resulting in him being tasered by police. He was able to restart his life however, and now is a motivational speaker.

Unable to secure Tim TTM, I went ahead and did a paid signing to get him on these 3 set needs. Tim makes an appearance in the classic Tecmo Super Bowl at RB for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NOTES:

Some really cool cards of Scott here. My wife’s husband showed me some old Pro Set 1990 he had dug up, and there was Scott’s card sitting there in mint condition. It sorta seared into my brain and reminded me I needed to write him. You could say I was inspired!
