With McKenzie’s football course reflecting a rollercoaster ride in this season’s NFL games, he was initially seen securing the starting slot position after Cole Beasley’s departure.

Facing a dreadful suspension, the NFL receiver expressed his candid opinion on social platforms, stating, “I did not kill a bald eagle,” adding, “That story is false.”
