Yes, there is a dangling modifier in the sentence. The phrase "A tough athlete" is intended to describe Tony Stark, but the way the sentence is structured makes it seem like the grass stains are the ones being described as a tough athlete. A clearer version would be: "A tough athlete, Tony Stark never washes out the grass stains on his jersey."
