The first football memory Andy Janovich conjures up about his friend Sam Foltz involves a candy bar. You don’t walk on at Nebraska and right into the NFL without stumbling across like-minded longshots.
During a cold game in Nebraska, Janovich recalled, Foltz joked about wanting to stuff a Snickers bar into his hand warmer, then take a quick bite before a snap.
“He never actually did it,” Janovich said with a smile. “But that always sticks in my head.”
Janovich, a 23-year-old rookie fullback competing for a spot on the Broncos’ 53-man roster, caught his breath Saturday long enough to think about Foltz.
