Kahlil McKenzie

Recommended Posts

Mods move if you must, but it's July and it's football related, even NFL related since it's the son of Reggie McKenzie. Anyway, this kid just finished his junior year of high school and is listed as 6'4 330+- and benches 225 36 times. By contrast, Star, the anchor on the NFL's greatest DL of the salary cap era, was 6'2 311 with a combine high 38 reps. Kahlil McKenzie is 17 years old and I never thought I would say this about any teenager, much less less a lineman, but could start in the NFL IMHO. He has also been practicing with the Raiders. Simply unreal. Watch video against top high school OL.

Went to Tennessee because of family pressure, his dad and uncle were both big time players there.

If it was up to him alone, he most likely would have gone to Arizona and been the best recruit in school history. I'm still holding out hope he changes his mind by signing day, but I know that's not likely

Dude is a beast. But look at how the OL starts out. He is in an awkward position and McKenzie gets to start with his hands on the ground and alot lower. If the OL had his hand on the ground and his body in a lower position he would have had a better chance. But that kid still looks like a stud!

He's just one poor soul of many. He just went to a camp in Oregon where he threw all the top high school OL around like rag dolls. I guess so with 36 reps at 225 before senior season....of high school!

Looks like a beast; hope he's not an early peaker

 

Even if so, his 36 reps would have been TOPS among ALL DT's in this year's draft!!!  There's video of him actually doing it as well so this isn't Paul Bunyan speak.

Lol what a load of crap. He was heavily recruited and was UT's number one target. Someone's butthurt.

"He definitely didn’t steer me to do anything that I didn’t want to do. And he even said a couple days before (I announced), ‘Hey, you’re really sure it’s not Arizona? It’s not any of these other schools?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, Dad. I’m all Vol.’"

    • I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.
    • Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!
    • Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
