While many WVU football fans, rightfully so, thought Worley should stay for his senior season, the player felt otherwise. He tested the waters and came out swimming ahead.
With the 77th overall pick, Worley was picked up by the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers, in fact, traded up to select Worley midway through the third round.
Worley became the second former Mountaineer selected after Karl Joseph was picked 14th overall on Thursday night by the Oakland Raiders.
Worley certainly made an impact in his three-year career at West Virginia. The native of Philadelphia earned playing time right away as a freshman, but his best statistical season was his junior campaign.
