Eric from BBI : Admin : 5/28/2015 9:58 am

From OT Kareem McKenzie to Dr. Kareem McKenzie - ( New Window )
Good for him

RT. One hell of a FA signing.
Nothing but respect

for this man.
That's quite a story

I don't think we fans really understand what pro athletes have to go through in their own heads, especially when their careers are over.

When all you know is one firm routine for a decade, and suddenly it's over, it must be like being lost at sea. I guess counseling for it is something that's needed.
best FA signing

Giants ever made
From Uncle Phil to Dr. Phil.

Great story

Fuck the Jets!

:-) just kidding
If he plans on helping NFL players

He should hook up with Dr. Baker, one of the leading therapists in helping people deal with the emotions and beliefs with money. Might help some of these kids deal better with their sudden abundance of funds.

very cool

He always seemed like a thoughtful guy. Best of luck to him.
Great

update. Nice to see someone doing well after life in the NFL.
His post-retirement accomplishments aside  
Mike in Long Beach : 5/28/2015 11:33 am : link
Kareem was such an underrated lineman. I don't think he ever made a Pro Bowl, but he was as good of a right tackle as you could ask for.

So cool he's doing this now.
Agree with Mook

The McKenzie signing wasn't as glamorous as Plax or AP that year, but it was the most important. Just a huge FA signing that solidified the Championship years.

Awesome to see he is doing so well post football.

Plax, AP and McKenzie signed as free agents in the same year? Wow, those were three huge championship pieces. Well done, JR!

him find success when it's time to pack it in. I have a feeling that entire Oline will do well.

All smart guys.
I remember a DWI incident  
grizz299 : 5/30/2015 8:54 am : link
But what I remember most is TC's defense of him. TC said this is an outstanding citizen, who made a mistake and will never let it happen again.

TC really went out of his way...told me something right there.
