Peter Grandich and New York Jets legend Joe Klecko will be on Business News Network’s “Trading Day” at 2PM on Thursday December 3, 2009 at 2PM EST
Joe Klecko, who was selected by the New York Jets in the sixth round of the 1977 NFL draft, lead the league’s rookies that season with eight sacks. He was the first member of what would become one of the most feared defensive front fours in the history of the NFL — the ‘New York Sack Exchange.’ He was the first NFL player to be named to the Pro Bowl at three different positions and he was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Klecko remains one of the most popular Jets of all time. On December 26, 2005, the New York Jets honored Klecko when they retired his jersey, number 73. He became only the third New York Jet to have his number retired, joining Hall of Fame QB Joe Namath and Hall of Fame WR Don Maynard.
