YoloinOhio Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Quote After waiving quarterback Chad Kelly, the Broncos had an open spot on their 53-man roster. Denver filled that spot by promoting wide receiver/punt returner Isaiah McKenzie from the practice squad to the active roster. To take McKenzie’s spot on the practice squad, the Broncos signed quarterback Garrett Grayson, a former third-round pick. Before Denver promoted McKenzie, the Bills were trying to sign the second-year receiver to their own 53-man roster, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. The Broncos prevented that by promoting McKenzie themselves. McKenzie (5-7, 173 pounds) was selected by Denver in the fifth round of last year’s NFL draft out of Georgia. He showed promise as a rookie but ultimately lost his starting punt return job after fumbling six times.

ROCBillsBeliever Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Five foot seven... Six fumbles... When you have more fumbles than feet and inches, automatic pass. 2 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost think that has to be be a typo. And Denver signed him so the Bills couldn’t get him, which means they must think he’s decent. Edit: i looked it up - the 6 fumbles were while at UGA, all on PR, and he lost 2 of them. Edited October 26, 2018 by YoloinOhio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I would put money on the fact that no one on this board had ever heard of this guy before. And now just because the Bills might have been thinking about him, he must not be that good because, of course, the front office can't evaluate talent. As if anyone here has any clue about the guy. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, maybe we (me) should get used to WRs that are in this mold (smaller) like the Patriots seem to add.

BillsFan130 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Watching the Dolphins game last night. They said Parker was a healthy scratch last week. I thought.

Esp when you're most important draft pick is struggling mightily, your 2nd round receiver is beyond bad, your 2nd round left tackle has regressed in run blocking severely, youre rookie mlb has been roasted in at least 3 games this year relentlessly, so for the Milanos and T Johnsons there are plenty of unknowns and one could make a case they still fall into that category. Tre White is great..otherwise let's be careful on anointing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
