Observe and Report: Breida gets McKenzie’s manufactured perimeter touches against Green Bay

Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie’s jet sweep and perimeter role, oftentimes referred to simply as a “gadget” role, is one that’s been discussed in the Buffalo Bills’ community a lot over the last two seasons. Last year, with Andre Roberts handling both punt and kick return duties, the sixth and final receiver spot came down to McKenzie, Duke Williams, and Ray-Ray McCloud. With the Bills’ lack of speed at the running back position, McKenzie’s usage in jet motion and its ability to hold the backside linebacker to allow for a potentially slower frontside play to be made was evaluated for its importance frequently.
