FB Andy Janovich

Age at free agency: 26

Andy Janovich, who will turn 27 a couple of months after 2020 free agency opens has become one of the NFL’s best traditional fullbacks, but he’s also proven himself to be more than just a lead blocker.

Janovich can catch passes, run the football, and play special teams extremely well.

As a matter of fact, he was one of the Broncos’ special teams captains last year.

Janovich should get a new contract with the Broncos, especially with Rich Scangarello’s offense prioritizing his position, but the team is taking a look at George Aston this offseason to see if there’s a chance he could be a contributor, just in case.

Janovich’s physical style of play is reminiscent of the guys who made this position so valuable in the 90s, but he’s adapted his game to the modern style of football in order to be able to contribute in any phase of the offense.
