The Ravens offense has been executing at an all-time level.
The league’s leader in scoring offense has shown they can play a variety of ways and almost every aspect involves a heaby-dose of fullback Patrick Ricard. The rushing attack ranks 1st in the NFL, averaging 207.8 rush yards per game.
On Wednesday, the Ravens announced that they have extended Ricard to a two-year, $7.3 million contract and he spoke to reporters.

December 4, 2019 According to Ian Rapoport, Ricard’s contract can be broken down more simply.
The #Ravens signed FB Pat Ricard to a 2-year contract extension worth $7.3M, source said. Another way to look at it: He’s slated to get a RFA tender worth $3M+ in 2020 & the extension adds one year and $4M+ to that number — $2M of which he gets in a couple months.

On the season, Ricard has logged 249 snaps at fullback accounting for 29% of offensive plays. On defense, he has played in 18% of all defensive snaps and is also a key contributor in special teams.
