Linebacker Shaquil Barrett watches Andy Janovich set a block — pick any one one of countless monster stuffs this season — and Barrett considers himself lucky to play for the Broncos and not whoever lines up across from the Broncos’ fullback on game day.
“He’s broken face masks,” Barrett said. “You’ve got to be ready.”
Janovich, a 6-foot-1, 238-pound, special teams captain in his third season out of Nebraska, enjoys few things more than laying out an opponent with a clean block: “I really take pride in it.” But that’s not all.
The Broncos are one of 18 NFL teams, just over half of the league, to utilize a fullback entering Week 8 at Kansas City.
