About Rich McKenzie
Born 1971. Rich McKenzie is an American american football player.
Richard Anthony McKenzie (born April 15, 1971) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). An All-American linebacker in high school, McKenzie played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions and left the team after the 1992 season. Although regarded as a dominant linebacker and considered by some to be the best athlete on that year's football team, Mckenzie was benched in the final bowl game due to disciplinary issues with Coach Joe Paterno. McKenzie's off-the-field issues caused many NFL teams to pass on him, leading to his selection in the sixth round of the 1993 NFL draft. After three years and only eight game appearances, McKenzie left the NFL.
