Isaiah McKenzie, WR

Some may scoff at McKenzie being on this list, but if the coaches are being honest on any level this offseason when they’ve spoken, McKenzie is a player this team still believes very strongly in.

He may have been passed on the depth chart at wide receiver already by Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton, but the Broncos still worked McKenzie in some with the top offense and they still believe he can be a dynamic return specialist in the NFL.

Despite fumbling far too many times in 2017, McKenzie does have the abilities required to be one of the best returners in the game and if he can simply catch the ball cleanly, his vision, speed, and quickness after the catch are special.

The same is true if the Broncos can get the ball in his hands offensively. McKenzie is one of the fastest and quickest players on the team. He could surprise some people this season.
