ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Reggie McKenzie, both on and off the football field, has always been about giving rather than receiving, and being a leader of men.
McKenzie was a powerful offensive guard at both the University of Michigan and for the NFL's Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks. The Wolverines established a school rushing record in 1971 with 3,977 yards while going 11-1 with him leading the way, and two years later O.J. Simpson referred to the Michigan All-American as his "main man" while rushing for an NFL-record 2,003 yards in what were then only 14-game seasons.
