Thirty years ago this month, former Steelers running back Tim Worley made his professional football debut in a preseason game against the Eagles at old Veterans Stadium.
Worley was a high draft choice, and the anticipation of his arrival was fairly palpable, especially on the heels of a 5-11 disaster of a season in 1988. On Worley’s first carry, Stan Savran, the Steelers TV play-by-play man for preseason action in those days, called the play with an excitement in his voice normally reserved for the final seconds of a Week 16 regular season match-up.
