Patrick Ricard (born May 27, 1994), nicknamed "Pancake Pat", is an American professional football fullback for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Maine Black Bears. Ricard was originally signed by the Ravens as an undrafted defensive end in 2017 and played both fullback and defensive end for the first three seasons of his career before becoming an offense-only player during the 2020 season.
As of the 2024 season Ricard is a five-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro (one first team and one second team selection). Ricard has been a highly versatile player for the Ravens, playing fullback, tight end, and offensive lineman in addition to being a core special teams player throughout his career. As a run blocker, Ricard has been a key component in the success of the Ravens' run game in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
