Ozzie Clay, former kick returner for Redskins, dies at 62

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ozzie Clay, a former kick returner for the Washington Redskins, has died from complications of a stroke at 62.

Clay died Tuesday at a Washington hospital, family members said.

Clay was drafted by Washington in the 17th round in 1964 out of Iowa State, where he was a wide receiver. He played one season with the Redskins, returning 19 kickoffs for 482 yards, and four punts for 5 yards on a Washington team that went 6-8 under coach Bill McPeak.

In April 2004, Clay was indicted on 17 counts of fraud, money laundering and arson for allegedly having a fire set at his failing business in August 2000 to recoup insurance money. The case never went to trial.

The Temple Hills, Md., company, Armorguard, made and installed security doors and sold home improvement products.
