Hapless Bills Fan Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I hope he isn't too distracted from training. I know from my in-laws that running a restaurant is exhausting, full-time work, so I'm concerned for his future as an NFL player that he isn't too distracted from training. Hard to get 2x/day workouts if the afternoon/evening are spent on-site, though the restaurant is described as opening at 11 and usually selling out by 5 pm! https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31749410/brisket-ribs-bbq-miami-native-buffalo-bills-receiver-opens-new-restaurant But it sounds as though the restaurant is doing pretty well. Describes McKenzie as 5'8" and 170 lbs which is probably more accurate than the 5'9" Wiki gives him. Man, for a football player he's tiny! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, for a football player he's tiny! I’m 6’2 with an extensive history in bodybuilding and I warn you to never underestimate someone because of their height. My friend Ronnie is about as big as McKenzie but he grew up on a farm. He’s put me through multiple walls before, freakishly strong. I’m not saying height/size don’t matter but some of these smaller dudes are scrappy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of them he was doing box jumps - onto a 5' tall stack if I counted right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I totally missed something on my breeze over of the article, it sounds as tho he he was just working there on Saturdays during the spring. His partner runs the show and McKenzie is mainly the investor. He just loves to go be hands on from time to time but where did it say he spends extensive time on site? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 A year ago I quit my corporate job and opened a restaurant. Best decision I ever made. Nice to see him setting himself up for a life post football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're confused and didn't read carefully. The restaurant itself didn't open until May 29th. During the spring they were doing "BBQ Popups" on Saturday at various locations to help build a following and bring in some $$ while renovating the restaurant. He's posted on his Instagram about "not going into work today...feels good!". He's putting in a lot of time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very reasonable assumption on his part. I Dont know how well he knows his partner, what percent of his net worth he risked but such an establishment is rife with unforeseen problems, pilfering, long hours. Maybe it is a non-event and wont cause any issues by the assumption is very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
