Jason Mackey: After watching his own life spiral, former Steelers running back Tim Worley returns to camp with important message

PITTSBURGH — Tim Worley didn't see much of Saint Vincent College as a rookie.

The last time Worley was here was 1999 — he's actually never seen a game at Acrisure Stadium/Heinz Field — but his return Tuesday should be special on a few fronts.

Worley was actually invited here by Merril Hoge. The two plan to speak with current players Wednesday, when Worley will share his own incredible story that includes drug problems, a suspension, an arrest and a rebound to his current life as an evangelist.
