The New York Giants have agreed to terms with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie, pending a physical. After a sour ending to his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, Isaiah McKenzie is heading to the NFC East.
The 5-foot-8, 173-pounder has experience with coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, having played in Buffalo for parts
of five seasons. A fifth-round draft choice by Denver in 2017, McKenzie has played in 93 games with 28 starts for the Broncos (2017-2018), Bills (2018-2022), and Colts (2023). His career numbers include 152 receptions for 1,427 yards (9.4 yards per catch) and 11 touchdowns in addition to 50 rushing attempts for 244 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and four scores. He also attempted one pass, which went for a 12-yard touchdown in 2020.
The Georgia product also brings experience as a return specialist. He has returned 81 punts for 722 yards (8.9 yards per return), including an 84-yard touchdown. He has also brought back 56 kickoffs for 1,264 yards (22.6 yards per return), with a long of 75 yards.
The plan this past season was for the Colts to use McKenzie in a gadget role and possibly in the slot, but the emergence of rookie Josh Downs never really allowed that to happen. Over time, he started to see his role and snaps diminished before eventually he was only contributing on special teams.
