Isaiah McKenzie

The Broncos brought Isaiah McKenzie up from the practice squad and gave him some opportunities to return punts against the Chiefs.

In his rookie season, McKenzie had six fumbles on punts and lost three of them. It’s safe to say the fan base wasn’t overly confident in McKenzie after his rookie season but he has a lot of big play potential and might be the fastest player on the team, so the Broncos hung onto him and protected him from going to the Bills by signing him to their active roster.

McKenzie may get some more snaps against the Texans as the Broncos wait for DaeSean Hamilton to get healthy, but pretty soon, he’s going to have to do something to stand out before the team moves on.

McKenzie was an amazing playmaker at Georgia, and the Broncos still have time to get that out of him at the professional level.
