Nicknames are for veterans. Broncos safety T.J. Ward, for example, can call himself “Boss” because he earned it over six seasons. Rookies, though, do not get nicknames. They get numbers. At best they hear “Hey, rook.”

Rookie fullback Andy Janovich is a rarity. One week into his first NFL training camp, he already has a nickname. He is “Hammerhead.”

“There are plays when I knock the crap out of a linebacker or something and everybody seems excited,” Janovich said at Broncos headquarters. “But that’s just the role of the fullback. I feel like they’re liking what I’m doing.”

The glory days of the smashmouth fullback in the NFL are distant. The Broncos drafted 10 fullbacks from 1960-67. But they drafted only three since 1968. They grabbed Janovich in the sixth round in April, the highest-picked fullback in the draft.

Awesome. Best rushing teams have a FB as lead blocker.
