Paul Worrilow returned to Newark in January 2022 and will serve as Delaware’s volunteer assistant coach.
Worrilow rejoins the Blue & Gold after an eight-year NFL career that saw him play in 76 games with 52 starts. He signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2013 and appeared in all 16 games in each of his first two seasons. His 142 total tackles in 2014 ranked fifth in the NFL and he was named a team captain in both 2014 and 2015.
Worrilow appeared in 59 games over four seasons with the Falcons before joining Detroit in 2017. He suited up in 13 games for the Lions before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. He missed the 2018 season due to injury, before appearing in four games for the New York Jets in 2019. Worrilow was on the Jets’ practice squad for part of the 2020 season.
For his career, Worrilow compiled 415 total tackles to go along with 15.0 TFL, 4.0 sacks, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions.
A 2012 All-CAA First Team and Third Team All-American (The Sports Network) selection as a senior, Worrilow was a two-time team captain for the Blue Hens. He was named the 2012 team MVP and received the 2013 Edgar Johnson Award, given annually to a Delaware student-athlete “demonstrating the characteristics of hard work, dedication, fairness and striving for excellence.”
The Wilmington, Del. native was a key member of the UD team that advanced to the 2010 national championship game, leading the defense with 113 total tackles. Worrilow finished his decorated career ranked fifth all-time in program history with 377 career tackles and is also 11th with 33.5 TFL.
Worrilow graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in history in 2013.
