Ron Jaworski, born Ronald Vincent Jaworski on March 23, 1951, in Lackawanna, New York, is a former American football quarterback who later established himself as an NFL analyst, entrepreneur, and business owner. Over the years, he has built a multifaceted career both on and off the football field.
Jaworski was a talented multi-sport athlete and notably turned down a professional baseball contract from the St. Louis Cardinals to pursue college football at Youngstown State University. This decision proved pivotal, as it led to his selection in the second round of the 1973 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
Initially a third-string quarterback for the Rams, Jaworski got his breakthrough opportunity in 1975 when injuries sidelined starting quarterbacks John Hadl and James Harris. Jaworski stepped in and helped lead the Rams to a playoff victory, showcasing his readiness at the professional level.
In 1977, Jaworski was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite some questions about the legality of the trade, it stood. Under head coach Dick Vermeil, the Eagles rapidly improved and became playoff contenders. Although they fell short in the 1978 and 1979 playoffs, the team broke through in 1980 by winning the NFC East for the first time and advancing to Super Bowl XV. Jaworski played a central role in this success and was named NFC Player of the Year for his performance that season.
After an inconsistent 1985 season, Jaworski was benched, marking the beginning of the end of his tenure in Philadelphia. In 1987, he signed with the Miami Dolphins and later joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 1989 before retiring from professional football.
Following his retirement from the NFL, Ron Jaworski transitioned into broadcasting and became a well-regarded NFL analyst for ESPN. He contributed expert commentary on a range of programs, including Monday Night Football, earning respect for his insight and preparation.
Beyond broadcasting, Jaworski ventured into business. He is the CEO of Ron Jaworski Golf Management, a company that operates several golf courses in the Northeastern United States. His passion for the sport is evident in his active involvement in the golf industry.
Jaworski is also a part-owner and team president of the Philadelphia Soul, a franchise in the Arena Football League. In addition, he has invested in the Elite Football League of India, demonstrating his global interest in expanding American-style football.
His diverse pursuits have contributed to an estimated net worth of approximately $3 million.
Ron Jaworski is married to his longtime partner, Liz Jaworski. Together, they have three children: daughters Joleen and Jessica, and son William. Known for his affable personality and love for sports, Ron maintains an active presence on social media, particularly Twitter, where he engages with fans and shares insights from his professional life. He has amassed over 60,000 followers and regularly posts photos and updates.
