Tampa Bay signed Worthington to their practice squad on Nov. 3.

He was drafted in the seventh round by the Pittsburgh Steelers and signed to a three-year deal with a total base value of nearly $1.25 million..

Worthington received a signing bonus in excess of $33,000 and base salaries of $320,000, $405,000 and $490,000.

Worthington registered 103 career tackles, 12 for losses and 4 1/2 sacks at Ohio State.

Drafted 242nd overall, Worthington is an athletic 6-foot-5, 292-pounder who posted 42 tackles and two sacks last season.

Worthington ran the 40-yard dash in 5.02 seconds, also turning in a 35 1/2 vertical leap and a 10-01 broad jump.

Worthington played in the East-West Shrine all-star game.

He was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten Conference selection last season.

Doug Worthington's pair of 2008 Gold Pants were being sold on the latest version of the TV show 'Pawn Stars.' Apparently he sold them to a private collector and the collector then sold them to the seller on 'Pawn Stars.'

BTW, Worthington graduated in 2010.

According to Doug's facebook page (yeah, we're close) they're not his.

Donte Whitner, perhaps?

if the gold pants have the initials d.w. and are from '08 and were not given to doug worthington, then that leaves donald washington.

At least Doug's "Buckeyeness" was questioned. Don't want former players getting too comfortable.

Great, now he's going to have to move to Tennessee.

Yup. Two grand.

Which is unusual, since Rick usually only buys things that have value because they're rare. Shoot, there's a ton of Gold Pants that have been made in the last ten years or so...
