A six-time Pro Bowl fullback nicknamed 'Pancake Pat' who spent nine years bulldozing lanes in Baltimore before a fresh start.
Patrick Ricard built a rare career arc for a fullback: undrafted defensive end from Maine who became the position's gold standard for nearly a decade in Baltimore. After nine seasons and six Pro Bowls with the Ravens, he heads into a new chapter bringing that same physicality to a new offense.
Path to the league
Ricard played 44 games on the defensive line at Maine, recording 208 tackles including 47.5 for loss. He went undrafted in 2017, signed with the Ravens as a defensive end, and spent his first three seasons playing both sides of the ball before becoming a full-time fullback in 2020.
Career highlights
Ricard made six Pro Bowls with Baltimore and earned All-Pro honors in each of his final three seasons there, including first-team All-Pro in 2025. Few fullbacks in NFL history have combined his blocking dominance with enough receiving chops to stay a weekly factor in an offense's game plan.
2025 season recap
Ricard closed out his Ravens tenure with a first-team All-Pro season, continuing to grade as the league's premier fullback before hitting free agency in 2026. He is now bringing that run-blocking pedigree to a new team looking to ignite its ground game.
