Ronald Vincent Jaworski (born March 23, 1951), nicknamed "Jaws", is an American former football quarterback who played 17 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Youngstown State Penguins and was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round of the 1973 NFL draft. After spending four seasons mostly as a backup for the Rams, Jaworski was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1977, where he would lead the Eagles to four consecutive playoff appearances, including a division title and the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance in 1980. After ten seasons with the Eagles, Jaworski signed with the Miami Dolphins, where he would spend two seasons as a backup.
After his playing career, Jaworski worked as an NFL analyst on ESPN from 1990 to 2017.[1] From 2004 to 2019, he served as an executive of the Philadelphia Soul franchise of the Arena Football League, where he also briefly served as the league's Executive Committee Chair from 2018 to 2019. He is also the founder and CEO of Ron Jaworski Golf, which owns and manages several golf courses across the Delaware Valley region.
