    Carolina Panthers

    Worley was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (77th overall). He opened the 2016 NFL season as third on the cornerback depth chart, behind veteran Bené Benwikere and fellow rookie James Bradberry. After Julio Jones had 300 receiving yards over the Carolina Panthers in Week 4 of the NFL season, primarily against Benwikere and Worley, Benwikere was released.[7] This made Bradberry the number one starting cornerback, Worley the number two, and fellow rookie Zack Sanchez the number three.[8] Worley steadily improved throughout the year and finished the season ranked as the twelfth best cornerback against the run by respected analytical site Pro Football Focus.[9]

    Philadelphia Eagles

    On March 9, 2018, the Panthers agreed to trade Worley to the Philadelphia Eagles for wide receiver Torrey Smith.[10] The deal became official on March 14, 2018.[11] On April 15, 2018, Worley was released by the Eagles after he was arrested stemming from an altercation with police.[12][13]
