Mike McKenzie Madden Career 2000-2009 - Peak 90 OVR
The corner who forced his way out of Green Bay and won a ring in New Orleans
A third-round pick out of Memphis in 1999, he grew into a long, physical press corner for the Packers and signed a five-year extension in 2002. Then things turned sour. He held out into September of 2004 to force a move, and on October 4 Green Bay traded him to New Orleans for quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan and a second-round pick.
The Saints got the better end. From 2004 through 2008 he led the team with 12 interceptions and became the anchor of their secondary. Released in March 2009, he phoned Sean Payton asking to come back, re-signed that November during an injury crisis, and in his first game in more than a year he intercepted Tom Brady. Waived before the finale, he was still awarded a Super Bowl XLIV ring for his part in the run.
His Madden line reads like his career: an 87 in the 2000 edition, a dip to 79 in 2001, then back-to-back peaks of 90 in the 2003 and 2004 editions.
