Giants' Patrick Ricard: Jaxson Dart a 'hungry' leader ready for Year 2

Yahoo Sports

New York Giants FB Patrick Ricard shares his initial thoughts on QB Jaxson Dart, calling him an "accessible" and "hungry" leader.

The New York Giants added a wealth of talent to both sides of the ball during free agency this offseason. New York signed former Baltimore Ravens fullback Patrick Ricard to a two-year, $7. 6 million deal in March.

The nine-year veteran is expected to provide a significant boost to the Giants' backfield in 2026 and will reunite with head coach John Harbaugh in New York after spending nine seasons together in Baltimore. Ricard has long been regarded as one of the NFL's top fullbacks throughout his nine-year career. The 6-foot-3, 300-pound star represents a major addition for the Giants, and he should make an immediate impact in New York as early as Week 1.

Ricard recently shared his first impressions of Giants quarterback Jaxon Dart, noting that the young passer already displays the traits of a true leader both on and off the field. #Giants FB Pat Ricard on meeting QB Jaxson Dart: “For me, he sat down with me and talked for like 10 minutes just to get to know me on my second day there. He’s very accessible.
