The Facts: The Ravens announce they've reached an agreement on a three-year deal with Ricard, a three-time Pro Bowl fullback who lined up at tight end on over half of his snaps last season.
Diehards Line:
In 2021, Ricard appeared in 13 games with 11 starts. He caught eight passes for 63 yards with one touchdown, also taking a pair of carries for 4 yards. But he was on the field for 45 percent of Baltimore’s offensive snaps, illustrating the team’s commitment to using a fullback. According to Baltimore Sun staffer Jonas Shaffer, Ricard's return is a reminder that this is still a Greg Roman offense. And Ricard has been a very valuable part of it. Through Week 8 last season, Lamar Jackson averaged 11.4 yards and 13.4 yards per pass attempt in the 2 packages featuring Ricard.
