On the eve of Sunday's Super Bowl, the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame class was announced. Once again, it did not include Joe Klecko, the legendary Jets defensive lineman.
But that was known well before Saturday, because Klecko was denied entrance, once again, in August, when the Hall's Seniors Committee used its lone 2017 nomination on former Seahawks safety Kenny Easley, who wound up making the Hall of Fame on Saturday.
The wait continues for Klecko, 63, but he could have a better chance for 2018.
That's because the Seniors Committee will get two nominations, while the Contributors Committee will get one.
