Kahlil McKenzie has made quite the journey from team to team—and league to league—in his short career as a professional football player. The latest stop for McKenzie, an offensive lineman, is with the Seattle Seahawks—for the second time.
McKenzie first entered the National Football League as part of Brett Veach’s first-ever draft class as general manager for the Kansas City Chiefs. In the 2018 NFL Draft, Veach decided to take a chance on McKenzie as an offensive line prospect after McKenzie had starred as a defensive lineman at the University of Tennessee. It was known he’d be a long-term project, but the potential was obvious enough for Veach to take a flyer.
