84 Isaiah McKenzie, WR/PR

After catching a long touchdown pass in week one of the preseason, we didn’t hear much from Isaiah McKenzie in the preseason.

McKenzie has excellent speed and quickness, but we won’t probably see too much of that on offense right away. Where McKenzie is going to make his mark is as a punt returner, and the Broncos are entrusting him with that position.

We didn’t see a ton from him in that regard during the preseason, but there were flashes of what he can do.

The Broncos need someone who can at least just catch punts with ease, and McKenzie can certainly do that. The pressure will be on in a big way on Monday Night Football for him to step in and make an impact.
