New York Jets: Pro Football Hall of Fame shuts doors on Joe Klecko

One of the biggest snubs not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is New York Jets legend Joe Klecko. After an announcement on Thursday, it appears he’ll never make it in.

With the NFL celebrating its 100th season, the Pro Football Hall of Fame decided to do something special for its upcoming class of inductees by opening its doors wider than ever before.

For the class of 2020 exclusively, the NFL’s Centennial Celebration will include 20 members which is an unprecedented number. That group of inductees will feature modern-era players, three contributors, two coaches, and most importantly 10 senior players (who have been retired for more than 25 seasons).
