That's awesome. He and Klecko are my favorite all-time Jets.
If the Jets won their home games, Klecko would literally hangout and tailgate with fans after the game, have a few beers. I've never seen anything like it from a star athlete, or any professional athlete for that matter.

If they lost he was too depressed to party, he took losing hard, but he'd still hangout for a long time and sign autographs.

When the New Jersey Generals played in the USFL, my family had season tickets, and two players made a regular habit of coming over and tailgating with us after wins. To this 12-year-old, that was a huge deal at the time. Tom Woodland and James Lockette.

I know the feeling. I was just a HS Senior back then too. I told my friend, lets go over to the players exit following a win, its better than sitting in traffic trying to get out of here. We'll get a few beers and watch the players leave, something we had never done before. A few of the players hungout much longer than I expected, interacting with the fans, but I was in shock when Joe Klecko literally looked at me and my friend, and our cooler of beers, and asked us for a cold one. :-0

I was like, can you believe this, Joe Klecko is asking me for a beer? :-0

Some players are not only good players but are good men as well. I'm a bit older than you, was in my fifties when he played, but appreciated players like that even more at my age.
