Daily News | Joe Klecko, pride of Chester and Temple, named to Pro Football Hall of Fame
A man who never played organized football until his senior year of high school in Delaware County will be enshrined this summer in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Oh God, no,” Klecko said last week of being drafted in the sixth round by the Jets. “I was so afraid that I wouldn’t get drafted.” Howie Long, the Villanova graduate who made it into the Hall of Fame in 2000, said Klecko was a role model for him as a pro. Klecko has to be the first member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who ever got into the ring with Joe Frazier, sparring with the former heavyweight champion of the world while Klecko was a champion college boxer at Temple.
