    This is the year. The team and fans need to start pushing on social media etc.

    Well that sucks.

    He was a dominant player in his era.
    Every player who faced him knew how good he was.

    Klecko was a unique player at a time of great change in the NFL.

    The reason he's not in the HoF is that his career was interrupted by injuries several times and then he had a post-career mishap.

    I hope he gets in before he dies. He's deserving of both the honor and the knowledge of it.

    He’s getting closer and closer. One of these years he will get in I have no doubt. Even Cimini seems to think so.

    My gut tells me 2022.....the NFL needs to get this right. Pro Bowl appearances for 3 different positions? Come on......

    What post career mishap are you referring to?

    I think he’s referring to when he hit a pedestrian with his car on a highway about 20 years ago ...... however Klecko was not found at fault in the accident if I remember correctly.
