From the article

Sunday, he was in a true fullback alignment 15 times, was an inline tight end seven times, in the slot 11 times and aligned as a wide receiver four times... I'm like the secret sauce to where you put me in different spots to get the advantage, and I'm usually a mismatch of who I'm blocking because I'm usually bigger than them.

Ricard's versatile alignment (FB, TE, slot, WR) creates mismatch blocking advantages across the offense.

Ricard's role in the Giants offense is highly versatile and scheme-dependent; he aligned as a true fullback 15 times, inline tight end 7 times, slot 11 times, and wide receiver 4 times in Week 1. Ricard described himself as the "secret sauce" of the offense, noting that his size (300 pounds) typically creates a mismatch advantage against defenders he blocks, and that motion and shifting him to different spots gives the offense strategic flexibility that few other fullbacks can provide.
