Will Klecko make the NFL Hall of Fame?

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 two non-modern era committees on a rotational basis, so the Contributors Committee had two nominations for 2017: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue.

The Seniors Committee typically announces its nominees in mid-August, so that’s when Klecko will find out if he’ll have a shot to make the Hall next Super Bowl weekend.

And they mean fewer players in Klecko’s position will have a chance to reach the Hall of Fame, via the Seniors Committee route.

Now, Klecko is 0-for-3 with being nominated by the Seniors Committee, though the new rules hurt his chances.

In Klecko’s three years as a senior candidate, his committee has only once been allowed to nominate two players.
