Timothy Edward Kearney (born October 5, 1950) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and St. Louis Cardinals. He played college football at Northern Michigan University.
Kearney attended Kingsford High School, before accepting a scholarship to play football at Northern Michigan University. He received Little All-American honors in 1971.
In 1982, he was inducted into the Northern Michigan University Sports Hall of Fame.
Kearney was selected in the fourth round (83rd overall) of the 1972 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, who were the defending Super Bowl champions. He faced a difficult challenge in making the team, after the Cowboys drafted a total of 5 linebackers and had one of the best linebacking corps in NFL history already in place. He was waived on September 7, 1972.
The Green Bay Packers claimed him off waivers on September 11, 1972, but was waived three days later to make room for wide receiver Jon Staggers.
