Isaiah McKenzie

I have no doubt that Isaiah McKenzie is going to break out post-bye week. He is so close to getting that big return Broncos Country can smell it.

There has been a lot of promise surrounding this fifth round draft pick. Hopefully we can see McKenzie providing some special teams excitement in the Rocky Mountains.

For what he has worked with, I would say he is performing at a solid level. Pro Football Focus analytics agrees. McKenzie ranks fifth in punt return average this season.

Will we see his average go up after the bye week? We will have to wait and see.

Grade: B
