For younger New York Jets fans who never saw Joe Klecko play, it’s important to gain an understanding of who he was in his day.
For years, older fans would complain around Super Bowl Sunday that Klecko was once again snubbed from the Hall of Fame, while their younger counterparts would shrug and say, “Meh.”
To truly comprehend Klecko’s impact on the Jets, think of John Abraham in his heyday and Quinnen Williams‘s 2022 season all rolled into one, year in and year out.
That’s why, when Klecko joined The Boomer and Gio Show on WFAN radio, Boomer Esiason had nothing but rousing praise for the Canton-bound defensive lineman, calling him the “bell cow” of the Jets’ dominant line.
