Isaiah McKenzie, WR/PR

Isaiah McKenzie took a punt back for a touchdown in the preseason opener and didn’t drop any punts in the second week of preseason action, but he did fumble trying to make a play after the catch late in the game.

The fumble sealed the deal as Chicago closed out their victory.

How will McKenzie respond?

His journey to the roster is fascinating. He’s got to be the most gifted athlete on the team in terms of pure speed and quickness.

As we saw on his return touchdown, McKenzie also has very good vision with the ball in his hands.

How effective will he be in this game? Where is his confidence level?

The Broncos — and everyone else — will be watching.
