30 Most Important Ravens of 2025: No. 22 Patrick Ricard

The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season, which features plenty of new and returning faces within the organization. Several players, coaches, and front-office members are crucial to the team’s success this season.

Every day from now until the start of training camp, we’re counting down our 30 Most Important Ravens for the 2025 season. We’ll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025, and tackle the most significant question facing them this year.

Next up is star fullback Patrick Ricard, a veteran leader, valuable asset, and Pro Bowl road grader.

Background

Position: Fullback

Age: 31

Experience: 9th-year pro

2025 cap hit: $1,422,500

2024 recap

A Pro Bowl fullback, Ricard recorded three catches on five targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in 17 regular-season games in 2024. He did not log any carries.

2025 outlook

Hours after agreeing to a deal with Ronnie Stanley, the Ravens reached an agreement with fullback Patrick Ricard to remain with the franchise. Baltimore star running back Derrick Henry, who ran for nearly 2,000 yards last season, made it clear during free agency how much he loved having the 300-pound fullback clearing the way in front of him. The Ricard-Henry duo was nearly unstoppable as Henry ran for 1,324 yards (6.2 per rush) and 15 touchdowns last season when Ricard was on the field.

“Any time 42 [Ricard] is in front of me, I’m comfortable,” Henry said. “I’ve got to make something happen.”

Biggest question: Will Ricard play more than 30% of the snaps?

Ricard played in all 17 of Baltimore’s regular-season contests for the third straight season. He proved his value by making the Pro Bowl without carrying the football for the second consecutive campaign, and his three receptions were his fewest since 2018. Even with the Ravens embracing a pass-heavy offense in key situations, Ricard has found a home in Todd Monken’s scheme over the past two seasons, playing 39% of the offensive snaps in both years.
