NY Jets Joe Klecko and Darrelle Revis to the NFL Hall of Fame

[JetNation]

In what has been a banner night for the New York Jets and their fans, a pair of former Jets greats have earned induction in to the NFL Hall of Fame.

Cornerback Darrelle Revis and defensive lineman Joe Klecko have both been tabbed to enter the hall next season.

Darrelle Revis is a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

And the wait is over for Joe Klecko – he's also heading to Canton.

Big night for the #Jets – current and past.

Revis, a former first-round pick out of the University of Pittsburgh, was the league’s premier corner for much of his time with the Jets becomes a first-ballot Hall of Famer on the same night the Jets saw a pair of rookies each earn rookie of the year honors.

Meanwhile, it was a much longer wait for Klecko who was drafted in 1977 and earned four trips to the pro bowl and a defensive player of the year award.  His 77 sacks rank second in team history and after a wait that took far too long, Klecko gets the nod as a senior selection.

Great for Klecko!!!!  Who cares about Revis.

[Joe Willie White Shoes]

Thrilled about Klecko.  Ambivalent about Mevi$.

[HawkeyeJet]

I don’t know as much about Klecko as a Jets fan should, I’ll be the first to admit that.

I was incredibly impressed though at how much he looked like an extra from from the Christmas Part scene of Goodfellas.

Revis .. probably the Jets greatest defensive player ever ... Well deserved.

Revis played his ass off and then chased the money. Doesn’t matter, he ours and he’s a HOF’er.

Love the virtue signalling. 

Revis was a great player. No one did what he did.

So he looked out for himself and made his money. Boo freaking hoo.

The guy was great!

Congrats to both.

[Jethead]

So happy for Klecko. He should have been there a long time ago.

Great night for the Jets, capping off a good year. More work to do but we are moving in the right direction.

Playoffs next year!

So who are the Jets going to play in the Hall of Fame Game this year?  We haven’t been in it since ‘92, so this seems like the right time.

[addage]

What to say about such a ridiculous thread?

First, John Elliott of the SB Jets was as good a defensive player as we have ever had.

However difficult Rivas was in negotiations, he was maybe our best player ever.

And thank God for Joe Klecko!!

This site would benefit if a few more actual fans participated!!!!

Klecko!!!!! So overdue but so well deserved. Really happy for Joe Klecko. Revis too but he was a no brainer.

Such a good day. I am definitely going to the ceremony. Will spend the weekend out there. Going to be so much fun.

Congrats to Klecko, Wilson and Sauce on their well deserved awards tonight, great night for Jets fans.

[GreenFish]

Klecko was before my time. Wish I had the chance to watch the sack exchange.

Based on how much Jets fan of that era love him, I’m thrilled he got in.

Happy for Revis as well. One of my favorite Jets ever. Revis Island was real. The year he locked down all those great receivers was amazing. 

[Joe W. Namath]

Revis isnt even a jet to me.  I hold aaron glenn in higher regard.

I’d say the patriots. Seems like we haven’t beaten them since 92.

I will be bringing it for sure.

I never had the urge to go to Canton but if they schedule the Jets might be a fun trip this year.

My fault. Will happen again, and I will apologize again then, sir.

hahaha, thanks.

Was I thrilled with Revis during his holdouts? No. But he played the money game against the greedy owners and won. Tip your cap to him, even if it made him “Mevis.” He was my favorite player when I first became a die hard Jets fan and to this day is the best football player I’ve ever watched. Congrats to him, and to Klecko.

[pointman]

I met Revis more than once and each time he was awesome. He was genuinely really happy to be back with us. He went from shutdown corner to shutdown buffet build, he knew he was going to be out of the league soon and needed to make his money when he was a hot commodity. I hated him doing it, and I hated him even more for leaving to the Pats but remember.. we didn't want him then. I love me some Revis.

Thank you so much for this article. 

Some of us remember just how impactful Klecko making the Hall is to the Jets and I am one of them. 

[Biggs]

I go back to the mid 60s.  Revis drove me crazy.  He was also the best player in terms of on field performance who ever wore the uniform.  

Nice to see Klecko get in.   Marvin Powell is equally deserving.
