Broncos Special Teams coach Brock Olivo really loves him some Andy Janovich

The Broncos animated Special Teams coach Brock Olivio met with the media today after their day five Training Camp practice and one thing became very clear, he loves Andy Janovich.

Just watch the video below, Olivio is infatuated with the Broncos second-year fullback/special teams player.

He told reporters that “if we had 22 Jano's we would be alright”.

“Jano—love Jano. Jano to me, if we had 22 Jano's we would be alright. He's tough, he never says a word and never complains. He just does his job. He's the first one in the meeting every day. He's on it X's and O’s wise. He knows what to do, he's tough and he finishes. I love the guy if you could tell. He's going to be a four-phaser for us. He's a really good football player.”

These comments basically confirm that fullback Andy Janovich is making the roster despite some concern that he might be on the outside looking in. It will make the roster crunch very interesting once they make these cuts, especially at running back but expect Janovich to make the team.

Olivio said that he is prepared to fight for Janovich’s roster spot if it came to that, but in the end, he feels confident that he will not have to do that.

“Absolutely. I don't even think that's going to be a necessity. Our personnel department does a great job of evaluating and Vance does a great job of evaluating. They know the value Jano brings to us. We love him.”

Another thing that Olivio touched on was the fullback position disappearing and how they need to find ways to get Janovich on the field for him. He compared it to his time in Kansas City where they have a fullback Anthony Sherman who is also a great special teams player.

“Absolutely. I don't even think that's going to be a necessity. Our personnel department does a great job of evaluating and Vance does a great job of evaluating. They know the value Jano brings to us. We love him.”

Janovich played in 11 games for the Broncos in 2016 and totaled 5 receptions for 44 yards and 4 rushes for 33 yards and 1 touchdown. He also helped pave running lanes for the Broncos backs and played a key role on the Broncos special teams unit. Now the Broncos will look for the same type of production this season from their second-year fullback.
