Joe Klecko Must Wait Another Year for HOF

Joe Klecko will have to wait another year to clear his next Hall of Fame hurdle.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Seniors Committee, meeting today in Canton, OH, named iconic Sixties Packers guard Jerry Kramer and Oilers linebacker Robert "Dr. Doom" Brazile as this year's two Seniors finalists for the Hall of Fame's Class of 2018.

Some rumors out of Canton were that Klecko, 63, who played for the Jets from 1977-87, was the all-business face of the "New York Sack Exchange" and was a Pro Bowl choice at three different defensive line positions, was trending in the minds of some on the Seniors Committee.
