The two best defenders to ever play for the New York Jets will be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame together later this year — but it's going to be a bit awkward.

Darrelle Revis and Joe Klecko have had a bit of a surprising back-and-forth in recent days, but Revis says it stems from a meeting the two had right around the time it was announced they made the Hall.

Revis admitted that it was difficult for him and Klecko to meet up around the Super Bowl and NFL Honors show in Arizona in February, but the seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback says Klecko did him dirty.

Revis says he was unable to "link up via text" with Klecko.

"First and foremost, me and Joe, we have an age gap. We don't really know each other that very well…" Revis told ESPN's Jake Asman. "We did sit down and do a Sirius Radio interview. And yes, I did say some great things, and I still stand by those, as well… I think at the time, around the Super Bowl time, I recall Joe reaching out to me via text. And as I'm in between traveling, we couldn't link up via text. And I told him I'd see him out in the Super Bowl."

But according to Revis, Klecko "called out" Revis for dodging him.

"The backstory is him trying to basically call me out in front of a group of Pro Football Hall of Fame staffers that I didn't kind of respond to his text in a sense. I just didn't really appreciate that," Revis said.

The drama between the two comes as a surprise to Jets fans, especially considering the fact that Klecko praised Revis on Asman's show earlier in the week.
