"Nicknamed "Pancake Pat" after repeatedly putting defenders on their backs, Ricard has made the Pro Bowl six times, the seventh-most in Ravens history. Since he became a full-time fullback in 2019, Baltimore has produced 20,078 yards on the ground, which are 3,662 more than any other team during that span."
"Last season, the Ravens felt the void of not having Ricard, who was sidelined for the first six games because of a calf injury he suffered in training camp. During his absence, Baltimore averaged 126.2 yards rushing per game, which was seventh-best in the NFL. In the Ravens' 11 games with Ricard, their rushing average increased to a league-leading 173.2 yards per game."
"Over the last seven seasons, his 668 run block wins rank second among fullbacks to the San Francisco 49ers' Kyle Juszczyk. Ricard has helped four running backs gain at least 800 yards rushing in a single season: Derrick Henry, Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins."
Patrick Ricard, a 31-year-old fullback, has agreed to a two-year contract with the New York Giants, following coach John Harbaugh from the Baltimore Ravens. Nicknamed "Pancake Pat" for his devastating blocks, Ricard was instrumental in Baltimore's dominant rushing attack. Since becoming a full-time fullback in 2019, the Ravens accumulated 20,078 rushing yards, 3,662 more than any other team during that period. Ricard ranks second among fullbacks with 668 run block wins over seven seasons. Last season demonstrated his impact: when sidelined with a calf injury, Baltimore averaged 126.2 rushing yards per game, but with Ricard playing, the average jumped to a league-leading 173.2 yards per game.
