Former Tennessee Vol Reggie McKenzie Joins Titans’ Front Office—What This Means for the Team’s Future
Reggie McKenzie, a former Tennessee Vols linebacker, has been appointed to a senior scouting position with the Tennessee Titans, marking his return to the NFL front office. McKenzie, who previously served as the general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders from 2012 to 2018, brings a wealth of experience to the Titans’ organization.
Before his tenure with the Raiders, McKenzie spent nearly two decades in various roles within the Green Bay Packers’ front office, from 1994 to 2011.
His time in Green Bay will prove invaluable, especially considering his connections within the Titans’ current management. Notably, McKenzie and Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker worked together in Green Bay for three years, which adds a layer of familiarity and camaraderie to his new role.
From 2019 to 2024, McKenzie held a senior personnel executive position with the Miami Dolphins, further refining his expertise in evaluating talent and building rosters. The depth of his experience across multiple NFL organizations makes him an ideal addition to the Titans’ staff as they look to bolster their front office and scouting department.
McKenzie’s hiring also reflects the Titans’ ongoing commitment to strengthening their team through proven football minds.
New Titans General Manager Mike Borgonzi, who was involved in the Kansas City Chiefs’ front office during the 2018 NFL Draft, played a role in selecting Kahlil McKenzie, the son of Reggie, in the sixth round.
This connection strengthens the professional ties between McKenzie and the Titans, with the added benefit of shared history and mutual respect among the team’s leadership.
McKenzie, who starred as a linebacker for the Tennessee Volunteers from 1981 to 1984, should seamlessly integrate into the Titans’ revamped front office.
His deep understanding of the game, from both a player’s and executive’s perspective, positions him to make significant contributions to the team’s future success.
With a career spanning across multiple NFL franchises, McKenzie’s expertise in talent evaluation and roster management will be instrumental in shaping the Titans’ direction moving forward.
This strategic hire underscores the Titans’ ongoing efforts to combine veteran leadership with a fresh vision, strengthening their position in the league both on and off the field.
