Denver Broncos rookie fullback Andy Janovich had about as good of a start to his NFL career as he could ever have asked for.

On the first carry of his pro career, Janovich — whose nickname, "Hammerhead", is just perfect — broke free for a 28-yard touchdown run during the second quarter of the Broncos' opener against the Panthers. His score tied things up at 7-7.

Check out the play, a fullback belly dive straight out of the 90s:

Here's hoping for plenty more smash-mouth football from Hammerhead in games — and years — to come.
