Klewicki received his school's highest graduation award for combining achievement in scholarship, athletics and citizenship.Klewicki moved on the play football at Michigan State College (later to become Michigan State University).

The New York Sun selected him to the All-American 2nd Team in 1934, the same year he won Michigan State's MVP Award.In 1935, Klewicki signed a pro contract with the Detroit Lions and was a member of the NFL's World Championship team that season.

In addition, he served as president of the Detroit Lions Alumni and the president of the Lansing Country Club.Ed Klewicki played a key role in the Detroit Lions' 26-7 triumph over the New York Giants for the National Football League crown on a raw, gloomy afternoon at the University of Detroit Stadium before 15,000 fans on December 19, 1935. In the early minutes of play, Lions' coach Potsy Clark decided to surprise the Giants with a shotgun offense.Glenn Presnell, the Lions' passer, fired a long pass intended for Klewicki, but the ball hit New York Giants' Ed Danowski's chest. The ball squirted high in the air, but Klewicki reached out quickly, gathered the ball in and put the Lions into scoring position from the two-yard line.Ace Gutowsky plunged for a touchdown, Presnell kicked the extra point and the Lions led 7-0 on their way to the championship.".
