The Denver Broncos selected former Georgia WR Isaiah McKenzie in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, a move that is already paying off.
The rookie has impressed the Broncos’ coaching staff so far in OTAs, according to Denver Post writer Cameron Wolfe:
“Isaiah McKenzie is the early favorite to be the Broncos’ most impressive rookie,” Wolfe wrote. “The fifth-round pick has shown off his shifty moves, natural hands and unique playmaking ability in nearly every OTA practice so far. Monday, he returned a punt return down the right sideline for a touchdown and earned a congrats from cornerback Aqib Talib.”
The Denver Broncos have said they plan to use McKenzie in a variety of different roles this fall, including as a returner, so it’s not surprising that he’s getting a lot of work in OTAs.
McKenzie recorded 44 catches for 633 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bulldogs in 2016 before declaring for the NFL Draft.
