Eagles add Klecko, plan move to fullback

The Philadelphia Eagles signed Dan Klecko on Monday and said he would be converted from defensive tackle to fullback.

The 275-pound Klecko has played defensive tackle and special teams and served as a short-yardage fullback for the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. The Eagles will use Klecko as a full-time fullback.

"It’s going to be a lot of hard work in changing my mentality to the offensive side of the ball, but we’ll see how it goes," Klecko said.

In 47 regular-season games, Klecko has caught four passes for 20 yards and a touchdown. He also had a touchdown catch in the Colts’ 2007 AFC Championship Game victory over the Patriots.
