Can you spot Isaiah McKenzie in the Denver Broncos team photo?

The former Georgia wide receiver chose No. 84 to honor former Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe when he learned he would make the team in the preseason .

The Broncos’ 2017 team photo was arranged numerically, so the 5-foot-7 McKenzie was placed in the fourth row along with linemen, tight ends and defensive ends who are all over 6-foot-2.

McKenzie was drafted in the fifth round in 2017 after three seasons as a wide receiver and kick returner at Georgia.
