Clarence Washington (born December 23, 1946) is a former American football defensive tackle who played three seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1969 to 1971.[1][2] He played college football at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, where he played alongside and roomed with future Steeler teammate L. C. Greenwood.[3] According to sportswriter Jack Zanger, he and Greenwood both "demonstrated that they were worthy backup men" in 1969.[3] Washington played in 13 games as a backup tackle in 1969 and then in all 14 games in 1970.[4] Washington missed the 1971 season after suffering a broken leg during preseason workouts.[5][6][7] He was traded to the Chicago Bears prior to the 1972 season for a draft pick due to the Steelers' surplus of quality defensive linemen, but the deal was voided because Washington failed the physical exam.[8][9]
