Timothy Ashley Worley (born September 24, 1966 in Lumberton, North Carolina) is a former American football running back who played for the Georgia Bulldogs in college, and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears of the National Football League.

A former "Parade" All-American in high school, Worley attended the University of Georgia in 1985. He was the team’s second leading rusher as a freshman with 627 yards [ [http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/uga/entries/2007/10/16/_hey_everybody.html?cxntfid=blogs_uga Is Moreno among Georgia's best ever? | UGA | ajc.com ] ] and led the team in touchdowns with 10 [ [http://www.georgiadogs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8800&ATCLID=1286382 Magill And Worley To Be Inducted In To UGA-UF Hall Of Fame Friday - GeorgiaDogs.com—Official Athletic Site of the University of Georgia ] ] . That same year, he scored an 89-yard touchdown against No. 1 ranked Florida, finishing with 125 yards and leading Georgia to a 24-3 upset.

In 1988, Worley led Georgia in rushing with 1,216 yards, which ranks seventh among Georgia running backs for a single season.

United Press International named him its SEC Offensive Player of the Year. He finished his career at Georgia with 2,038 yards, 27 touchdowns and 5.8 yards per carry (fifth all-time at Georgia).

He earned All-America honors as a junior after leading the Southeastern Conference in rushing with 1,216 yards. He was selected in the first round (7th overall) of the 1989 NFL Draft by the Steelers. In his rookie season, he posted a respectable 770 yards and 5 touchdowns on 195 carries. His production fell off his second season, however, as he earned only 418 yards and no touchdowns. He was injured for most of the 1991 NFL season, did not play at all the following year, and was traded to the Bears in 1993 for a fifth-round draft pick. Intended to help Neal Anderson carry the load, he continued to struggle. He appeared in only five games in the 1994 NFL season before retiring.

On October 23, 2007, Worley was inducted into the Georgia-Florida Hall of Fame, which recognizes the careers and outstanding performances that have occurred during the decades-long rivalry.

On Sunday April 13, 2008, Worley was tasered and arrested on a drunk driving charge in Smryna, GA. Worley also has arrest warrants from Arcade in Jackson County and Social Circle in Walton County.
