Ricard played 37 snaps and was instrumental in the Giants' Week 1 victory, setting the tone and keeping the offense true to its physical philosophy. The fullback wore multiple hats effectively (fullback, H-back, tight end), allowing Nagy and Roman to blend 21/12/13 personnel in creative fashion. Ricard was entrusted to handle defensive ends in protection and handled rip moves well against elite pass rushers like Rashan Gary, giving Dart enough time to fire.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Giants fullback, who followed Harbaugh from Baltimore, was instrumental in the offense's physical dominance over Dallas's defense.

Nobody in the world can do some of the things that Pat Ricard can do. And that's good for us. That's unique for us. So it helps us be who we are. It builds into our team persona, our team identity."PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026

I even told him, like, look, if you were coaching a Pop Warner football team, I'm interested. I'm there doing something."
