The New York Giants have officially signed fullback Patrick Ricard.
Ricard originally joined the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2017. Over his nine NFL seasons, all of which he spent in Baltimore with head coach John Harbaugh, the 6-foot-3, 300-pound fullback has been named to six Pro Bowls and was selected as an All-Pro in each of the last three seasons, including first-team All-Pro in 2025.
In 132 career games (66 starts), Ricard has caught 49 passes for 323 yards and seven touchdowns while also taking snaps on special teams. Ricard began his career splitting time between fullback and defensive tackle, so his career stats also include 19 tackles (14 solo), four tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup.
Ricard has also played in eight postseason games and has registered an additional four receptions for 37 yards.
The nine-year veteran has played a crucial role in the success of the Ravens' run game in recent years. In 2024, he blocked for an offense that ranked No. 1 in yards per game (424.9), yards per play (6.8 – third-best single-season mark in NFL history), and red zone efficiency (74.2 percent). The Baltimore run game also averaged a league-best 187.6 yards per game and 5.8 yards per carry (best figure in single-season NFL history).
Ricard helped block for a Baltimore rushing attack that topped 100 rushing yards in 43 consecutive games from 2018-2021, tying for the longest streak in NFL history.
Prior to joining the Ravens, Ricard played in 44 games at Maine where he was a defensive tackle. During his collegiate career, he recorded 208 tackles, 47.5 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, 11 passes defensed, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and two blocked kicks.
As a junior, Ricard registered 53 stops on the season and led the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) with 16.5 tackles for loss. He was named second-team All-CAA. The following season, Ricard earned first-team all-conference honors after he finished with 50 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks.
