Denver Broncos wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was featured on the Broncos weekly feature “The Out Route” on Thursday night.

On his way out of the Broncos practice facility, McKenzie spoke about life as a rookie, the difference between the NFL and playing football at Georgia and living in Denver.

McKenzie, who played at Georgia from 2014-2016, also spoke about a pregame ritual he's started with Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders.

In the first three games of his rookie season, McKenzie has one catch for four yards and returned six punts for 84 yards.
