Kareem Michael McKenzie (born May 24, 1979) is a player for the New York Giants of the National Football League.
McKenzie played only two years of high school football at Willingboro High School in Willingboro Township, New Jersey.[1]
McKenzie played college football at Penn State University, was drafted in the third round (79th overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft by the New York Jets, and established himself as a premier run blocker over his first four seasons as a professional. McKenzie anchored the right tackle position and helped Curtis Martin achieve three straight 1,000 yard rushing seasons from 2002–2004, including a NFL best 1,697 yards in 2004. Before the 2005 season, McKenzie joined the New York Giants as a free agent. He suffered a hamstring injury in week 13 of the 2005 season against the Giants' arch-rival Dallas Cowboys. McKenzie made an immediate impact as right tackle for the Giants in the 2005 season, paving the way for Tiki Barber in rushing for a franchise-record of 1,860 yards.
