In 2020, McKenzie had a career-best season to go along with the emergence of Bills quarterback Josh Allen. McKenzie had 30 catches, 282 receiving yards and five touchdowns, all were career-bests for McKenzie, who also threw a touchdown and also took a punt return for a score last season.
The 25-year-old will likely have an opportunity to once again be a unique opportunity to be a gadget player for the Bills offense in 2021, but his role on special teams could increase. The Bills lost All-Pro returner Andre Roberts to the Houston Texans in free agency, and McKenzie was No. 2 in return duties for the Bills last season.
