Andy Janovich

Age: 26

2019 Salary Cap hit: $761,077

Years under contract: 1

Now we get to the full backs on the roster. And we start with the full back who has been with the team since 2016. Andy Janovich was drafted in the sixth round by the Broncos after the team won Super Bowl 50. He did not wait long to make an impression as he took his first carry with the Broncos and scored a touchdown with it.

For how long the touchdown was, it was surprising to see that from a full back. But we would see a lot more from him.

His claim to fame as far as what he brings to Denver is his ability to run block and open up holes for the running back. That will certainly come in handy for players like Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay.

Janovich is in the final year of his contract. I would find it difficult to believe that he would not get a new contract after this season. He is an all around solid full back and it would be a mistake not to bring him back.
