RE: Broncos Wide Receiver Room All Smiles.

in #sports7 years ago

@broncnutz Denver Broncos is best football player. I really like this person play.

His grandmother, overcome with emotion, was crying, but wide receiver/returner Isaiah McKenzie could only smile after he received the call from the Denver Broncos making him their 2017 fifth-round Draft pick out of the University of Georgia.

Drugs and violence were always right outside his door in a rough Carol City, Florida neighborhood when McKenzie was growing up. He experienced people shot and killed on his own doorstep. And some of those issues didn’t skip his own family. McKenzie’s mother has struggled with a variety of challenges, and has been absent for much of his life. He does not know his father. However, McKenzie progressed through his childhood virtually unscathed, in large part due to the influence of his grandmother who raised him.
