Clark Cromwell Haggans (born January 10, 1977 in Torrance, California) plays outside linebacker for the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers. He became a regular starter at left outside linebacker in 2004 when the team released long-time starter Jason Gildon.
Haggans' role in the Steelers defense has been steadily increasing, as has his performance. Haggans recorded 6 quarterback sacks in 2004, and had 9 sacks during the 2005 regular season. Haggans was second on the Steelers defense in tackles for Super Bowl XL, and also recorded a sack, helping the Steelers defeat the Seattle Seahawks.
The Steelers drafted Haggans out of Colorado State University, where he played defensive end, in the fifth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Haggans was a productive pass rusher at Colorado State, where he walked on as a freshman, eventually earning a scholarship. He was a teammate of former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter.
