Fullback Patrick Ricard signing with Giants to reunite with John Harbaugh
NY Post
If Isaiah Likely was the most … er … likely former Raven to follow head coach John Harbaugh to the Giants, Patrick Ricard wasn’t far behind.
And now they are both Giants.
One day after the Giants agreed to terms with Likely to be one of their top pass-catchers, the Giants added Ricard to be a lead-blocking fullback for Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary.
Ricard made six Pro Bowls in nine years under Harbaugh with the Ravens and has been a First- or Second-Team All-Pro in each of the last three seasons.
It’s certainly not because of his ability with the ball in his hands.
Ricard has 60 touchdowns and seven touchdowns in 132 career games.

Most of the words Chris Drury said in July about defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov centered around the defensive side of the $49 million defenseman’s game. The Rangers president and general manager wanted to be better in front of their goaltenders. He wanted improved coverage in high-danger areas. And Gavrikov, inked to a seven-year deal at the start of free agency that month to pair with Adam Fox, possessed “qualities of an elite shutdown guy.”
