Professional career

New England Patriots
He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round (117th pick overall) in the 2003 NFL Draft. Klecko was a versatile player; he attended Saint Patrick School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, Great Valley High School, graduated from Marlboro High School, and then Temple University as a defensive lineman, but was moved to linebacker in the summer of 2004. He also saw time on special teams, and in his rookie season was a blocking fullback on five of the Patriots' nine running touchdowns. Klecko was cut by the Patriots after the 2006 preseason. Indianapolis Colts
Shortly after his release from New England, Klecko signed with the Indianapolis Colts. With the Colts, he occasionally filled in for the injured James Mungro as fullback during the 2006 season. Klecko scored his first career touchdown on a 2nd and goal four-yard pass from Peyton Manning against the Miami Dolphins on December 31, 2006. He also caught a touchdown against the New England Patriots, his former team, to tie the game in the 3rd quarter of the 2006 AFC Championship game. The Colts went on to win that game. They advanced and won Super Bowl XLI in Miami, Florida. Klecko was declared an unrestricted free agent on March 2, 2007, but on March 24, 2007, he re-signed with the Colts, agreeing to a one-year contract. On November 17, 2007, Klecko was waived by the Colts. He was re-signed three days later. Philadelphia Eagles
On March 14, 2008, Klecko was signed by his hometown Philadelphia Eagles, who intended to convert him back to fullback. He was brought in to compete with the incumbent Jason Davis. After the Eagles traded for former teammate Luke Lawton, Klecko was moved back to defensive tackle position. He registered a sack against the St. Louis Rams in his first game for the Eagles. On October 8, 2008, it was announced that Klecko would be moved back to fullback. He switched jersey numbers from No. 68 to No. 49. In the 2009 preseason, the Eagles moved Klecko to defensive tackle and switched his jersey number back to No. 68. He was released from the Eagles on September 5, 2009. Atlanta Falcons
Klecko signed a reserve/future contract with the Atlanta Falcons on January 11, 2010. He was waived on September 3. Personal life 
He is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer, Joe Klecko, best known as a member of the New York Jets' "New York Sack Exchange" of the early 1980's where he featured alongside Mark Gastineau, Marty Lyons, and Abdul Salaam. References
