rangerous Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 sometimes serby gets it right and he's certainly right about klecko. what a great tackle klecko was and the story behind him getting drafted by the jets was also pretty good. interesting only dorsett made the hall of fame from the 77 draft class. https://nypost.com/2019/04/21/jets-can-only-hope-next-pick-is-as-good-as-sack-exchange-legend/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Good read. Very ironic who the coach was to tell Joe he made the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Great read, Thanks for posting... still mad the Jets FO for letting the pats* draft his son "baby Klecko", it's not like a mid round pick was that expensive to show a little respect to a former player that is part of the positive history of this team (especially considering how little positive history there is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Best 6th round pick we ever Drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFaninMI Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It's hard to believe Joe isn't in the HOF. Only bought two Jersey's in my time as a Fan of this Team. Joe Klecko and Sam Darnold. Hopefully Sam turns out to be as good and mean as much as Joe Klecko did to this Franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 How is Klecko NOT in the HOF? One of the best Guards in NFL history that played against him believes he belongs in the HOF (John Hannah). Now isn't that enough? So we go by a bunch of morons who vote but don't take heed from literally one of the best all time Olineman that ever put on a damn NFL uniform, ridiculous.

JOJOTOWNSELL Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I think we’ve gotten to the point where the majority of this board never even saw Klecko play. God I am old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixhead Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I seen Klecko play. I been to Shea and watched him and Gastineau. I seen Klecko at the Meadowlands after he retired and yelled hey Joe - and he can over and talked to us. This guy deserves to be in the Hall of Fame without a shadow of a doubt. My favorite Jet other than Joe Willie. Where do I sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Stephenson, Howie Long, and others, have lobbied for Joe. There's something we don't know that's holding him back. Not drug related, but something?

The 1st time Gastineau stayed home & played the run would be his 1st! Mark freelanced a lot & left the edge wide open for big plays. Klecko did it all man, soup to nuts on the Dline.
