 Ron Jaworski, following an
outstanding career at Youngstown State University, which
included impressive performances in the Senior Bowl and
the Ohio Shrine Bowl games, Ron became a second round
draft choice of the Los Angeles Rams in 1973. After
spending four years with the Rams, the rights to Ron
Jaworski were traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in March
of 1977. Under Coach Dick Vermeil and behind Ron
Jaworski's very strong arm and enthusiastic field
leadership, the Eagles advanced to the NFC Playoffs in
1978 and 1979. In 1980, "Jaws" led the Eagles to a 12-4
record, the NFC Championship and their first-ever berth
in a Super Bowl (Super Bowl XV vs the Oakland Raiders).
Ron finished the 1980 season as the number one-rated
passer in the NFC. In recognition of his brilliant 1980
season, Ron was selected to the Pro Bowl. Today, Ron
Jaworski is excelling in the broadcasting field working
for ESPN, WTOG-TV Tampa Bay and ETN, Philadelphia.
Despite a very demanding broadcasting
schedule, Ron Jaworski also owns and operates two golf
courses: Garrisons Lake Golf Club in Smryna, Delaware
and Valley-Brook Golf Club in Blackwood, New Jersey; two
hotels - the Holiday Inn/Stadium, Philadelphia, PA, The
Chateau Resort at Camelback, Stroudsberg, PA; and a
Showcase Sports Store in Philadelphia. He does more than
50 motivational speeches each year and he hosts an
annual celebrity golf tournament which has raised close
to $1,000,000 for the United Way "Jaws Youth Fund." This
major event is hosted by Bally's Casino and sponsored by
Acme and Toyota. The prestigious Atlantic City Country
Club hosts the two-day tournament which features a
$100,000 Celebrity Shoot-Out.
