Isaiah McKenzie has played with the Bills for the past four seasons. He is a key special teams player and receiver for Buffalo. McKenzie averaged 24.3 yards per kick return and 7.7 yards per punt return in 2021.

McKenzie finished 2021 with 178 receiving yards, 20 receptions, and one receiving touchdown. He also rushed the ball 9 times for 47 yards and scored one rushing touchdown.

McKenzie added 92 total yards in Buffalo’s two playoff games last season. The Bills lost a heartbreaker to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional playoff round.

Josh Allen and the Bills have high expectations heading into the 2022 NFL season. Buffalo has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL.

The Denver Broncos selected Isaiah McKenzie in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft. The two-year deal is good for Isaiah McKenzie, who has only gotten one-year deals in the past.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the news of McKenzie’s signing:

Report: Eagles bring in former UGA OT for tryout

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in former Georgia Bulldog offensive lineman Cordy Glenn for a tryout.

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in former Georgia Bulldog offensive lineman Cordy Glenn for a tryout. The Eagles are thin along the offensive line following injuries to offensive linemen Andre Dillard (right bicep, out for 2020 season) and Brandon Brooks (torn Achilles, out for 2020 season).

Cordy Glenn was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2012 NFL Draft out of the University of Georgia. He played for several seasons as an offensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills. The Bills then traded him to the Bengals, where he played both tackle and guard. The Bengals released Glenn this March.

Will Glenn play tackle or guard if he plays for the Eagles or makes their roster? That remains to be seen. Jason Peters would be the logical starter for the Eagles at left tackle, but he reportedly wants a pay raise to play the position.

Former Georgia QB Jake Fromm signs with Bills — contract details here

Former Georgia football QB and 2020 NFL Draft pick Jake Fromm signed his rookie contract with the Buffalo Bills. Here are the details…

Former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm signed his rookie deal on Friday with the Buffalo Bills.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, it’s a four-year contract worth $3.7 million total, $899,490 guaranteed with a $302,960 signing bonus.

A pedestrian combine performance reportedly caused Fromm to slip to the fifth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft where the Buffalo Bills felt fortunate to select him with the No. 167 overall pick.

General manager Brandon Beane said that drafting Fromm was not meant to send a message to Bills starter Josh Allen, but rather to fill a “premium position” with a talented player.

Fromm will have an opportunity to compete for the backup position this off-season with fellow Bills quarterbacks Davis Webb and Matt Barkley. And as Georgia fans know well, don’t count Fromm out in a quarterback competition. He has beaten out a couple of 5-stars before and won a few games in between…
