Kahlil McKenzie, former Tennessee DT and son of Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie, eyes NFL career

INDIANAPOLIS -- As Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie studies the defensive line prospects available in this year’s draft, there’s at least one on which he probably won’t need too much background.

That’s Kahlil McKenzie, a 6-foot-3, 320-pound tackle out of Tennessee. Reggie’s his dad.

In January, Kahlil announced he’d opted to forgo his senior college season and enter the NFL Draft. The decision surprised some analysts, and made this year’s scouting combine a bit different for Reggie. One of the players he’s appraising is one that he raised.

“He’s been around football all his life,” Reggie McKenzie said of Kahlil.
