Round Six: FB Andy Janovich

Grade: A

Fullbacks are very rare in today’s pass happy game, but the Broncos chose Andy Janovich in the sixth round to highlight their balanced offense. Janovich has not only opened up holes for the running backs but he accounted for the first touchdown of the season. In the season opener against the Panthers Janovich took his first career carry on a third and one 28 yards for a touchdown.

Janovich is quickly becoming a fan favorite among the Broncos faithful. The only issue that Janovich has faced early in his career is not being on the field enough. In the games where he has been utilized the most have been the games where the run has been most successful. Even though his strength has been in the run game, Janovich has also caught three passes for a 12 yard average.

His success won’t be seen much through the stat sheet, but for the remainder of the year he will be a key component of the Denver offense.
