The Denver Broncos were looking to add some juice in the offense. Isaiah McKenzie could become that utility player that can score from anywhere.
John Elway and Vance Joseph wanted to provide some spark for the Denver Broncos offense. The offense was the weakness of the previous season.
So, what do you do when the offense needs to add some fire power? Go to the draft and add some players that can provide the juice you are looking for. In the fifth round, the Broncos were able to draft a tight end in Jake Butt that can provide some offensive power.
They also drafted Isaiah McKenzie after trading up. Out of all the draft picks, I believe that McKenzie could be the biggest spark for the offense. Maybe even special teams.
He may not be a huge player, but his speed could provide to be very helpful in the offense. I can see Mike McCoy and the Broncos offense providing some special packages that will utilize his speed.
don't mistake Isaiah McKenzie as JUST a returner, #Broncos should have package of plays for him as he can be dangerous as a WR @1043TheFan

On special teams, he can become a huge playmaker. The Denver Broncos have had little success on the return game. It has been since 2013 that we have seen the team return a kick or punt for a touchdown.
On offense, McKenzie can move those chains. The Denver Broncos finished next to last on third down conversions. Converting on just 34.25% of third downs, only the Los Angeles Rams were worse.
Being able to move those chains on third down with Isaiah McKenzie will help the drives continue. Especially with third down and less than four yards to go.

Watching the Broncos offense struggle to move the football was difficult to watch. McKenzie and the draft picks could help out wonders to get the offense back on track.
Being able to have a player that can score at any moment once the football is in his hands is always exciting.
