The news of Clark Haggans’ death was announced on Pittsburgh Sports Radio by The Fan’s Colin Dunlap on Tuesday evening. However, his cause of death has still not been revealed and still remains under inspection.

Clark Haggans received heavy praise from his teammates during his playing days who were astonished by his athletic prowess and incredible stamina. They were astonished by the constant levels of energy he possessed during games.

“He’s full-speed, the whole game,” defensive end Aaron Smith said about Clark Haggans back in 2007. “I don’t know how the man does it, but it’s amazing to watch him play. He’s got such a motor, and I don’t think people realize how athletic he really is, too.”

“Clark never stops — ever,” defensive end Brett Keisel said as well in 2007. “It seems like, during the course of a game, when guys are starting to wear out and their energy levels are starting to drop, that’s when Clark really feasts on the opponent.”

He was associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2000-2007. After his time with the Steelers came to a close, Haggans went on to play for the Arizona Cardinals for four years and retired with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012.
