The ratings of players for EA Sports’ “Madden NFL 23” have been slowly released over the last week. The Baltimore Ravens found players like tight end Mark Andrews, kicker Justin Tucker, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, quarterback Lamar Jackson and defensive lineman Michael Pierce rated in the game’s top-10 list of players at their positions.
Another player on the team that was rated as a top-10 player at his position by the game was Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard. The Pro Bowler was rated as an 81 overall, good for the No. 2 spot among all fullbacks.
Ricard, known as “Project Pat,” is known for his ability to do whatever the team asks of him. He can be a fullback, line up as a tight end, and even play defensive line if needed. Ricard has become one of the elite fullbacks in the NFL today.
Individual ratings that got Ricard to an 81 overall included a 95 lead block rating, a toughness rating of 90 and a 90 strength rating. The best rated at the position in Madden NFL 23 is former Ravens and current San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk with an 88 overall.
Through five NFL seasons, Ricard has caught 29 passes for 167 and five touchdowns on 167 receiving yards while also adding 18 combined tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and fumble recovery in 70 games. Ricard has also been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons.
