Like his teammate Raheem Brock, Dan Klecko took the same path as his father, Joe Klecko ('76), starring at Temple before playing professionally in the NFL. Now he joins his father in the Temple Athletics Hall of Fame – the first father-son football combo in school history to be inducted. The Colts Neck, N.J., native made an immediate impact upon his arrival on North Broad Street, earning Freshman All-America honors in 1999. He would go on to even greater accolades, garnering first team All-BIG EAST honors as a junior and senior and second team All-America honors in his final campaign. He still shares the school record for sacks in a game with four versus UConn in 2002. A 2003 fourth round draft pick by New England, he won two Super Bowls with the Patriots in his first two seasons in the NFL and later won another with Indianapolis in 2006.  He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles.
