Clark Haggans’ fans and teammates have begun to let the world know just how impactful he was. Matt Leinart, Haggans’ former Steelers teammate tweeted, “D***. Just saw the news of my teammate Clark Haggans. Was a good one man. RIP brother!” One of Haggans’ fans tweeted, “Clark Haggans’ life was obviously so much more than one Super Bowl or the game of football. But he was a key piece to some great Steelers’ defenses. Nine sacks in 2005. Took down Matt Hasselbeck on the opening drive of SB 40. Rest in Peace, Clark. #Steelers.” The Twitter account for Reese’s Senior Bowl tweeted, “We are saddened to here of the passing of @CSUFootball and Senior Bowl alum Clark Haggans. The #Steelers drafted Haggans in the 5th round of the 2000 NFL Draft becoming a star in Pittsburgh. Haggans’ Steelers won the Super Bowl in 2005, recording a career-high 9 sacks that year.”

The guy radiated energy every single day. That’s what I love about Clark. SI has reported that Haggans has two children, a son and a daughter. They did not mention a significant other.
