Aaron Rodgers is making a believer out of the Jets’ legendary defensive lineman Joe Klecko.
The newly inducted Hall-of-Famer, who quickly criticized the Jets’ interest in the former Green Bay Packer signal caller earlier this year, now believes New York is destined for greatness.
When asked by TMZ if the Jets will make the Super Bowl this year with Rodgers under center, Klecko was quick to declare, “Yes, I do think they will. Absolutely.
“With our four-time MVP, how could you not go to the Super Bowl?”
Klecko flipped on his opinion from six months ago when he told The Post’s Steve Serby he wouldn’t want Rodgers on the Jets.
“No I wouldn’t. I don’t see a guy like Rodgers fitting in with that mentality of them kids and everything like that,” Klecko responded.
“I could be wrong. He’s a tremendous quarterback; he’s a smart guy. I just think he could be more of a detriment, I really do. … Is he a great player? Absolutely. I just don’t see him fitting.”
Klecko doubled down on his hot take later in February, saying he preferred Derek Carr to Rodgers, who could “absolutely” ruin the Jets locker room.
“I just can’t see it. … I don’t think Rodgers is a fit with the young guys,” Klecko said.
But fast forward to September, and the newly-inducted Pro Football Hall of Famer is all-in on Rodgers, who zipped a beautiful 14-yard touchdown pass to second-year receiver Garrett Wilson in his preseason debut vs. the Giants.
Rodgers will make his regular-season Jets debut on Monday, Sept. 11 against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
Klecko spent 11 years with the Jets — before one final year with the Colts in 1988 — as a member of the New York Sack Exchange, recording 78 sacks across those seasons and an NFL-best 20.5 in 1981.
