Those are actually really good stats for a 1-technique DT.
Go and look up all-world Alabama DT Da'Ron Payne's 2017 stats. They are actually worse than Kahlil when it comes to sacks and TFLs. And he plays a similar position in the 3-4 (0-tecnique) that Kahlil plays in the 4-3 (1-technique).
Nose tackles don't get much in the way of sacks or TFLs. Their job is to do the dirty work that doesn't show up on the stat sheet like taking up double teams, plugging gaps, and collapsing the pocket from the middle on passing downs so the defensive ends can get sacks.
Kahlil McKenzie will play for a long time in the NFL as a nose tackle.

And even so, I've seen a lot of players under Muschamp/McElwain who looked like diggity dogshit when they were at Florida.
I watched D.J. Humphries get absolutely blown out of the water and it was like he was on wheels for most of the year -- went in round one as a junior.
If McKenzie is leaving, he's probably got solid information.
