The Pittsburgh Steelers are experimenting with using an offensive lineman as a fullback this offseason with Kendrick Green, the third-year veteran. It’s hardly a novel concept—the Steelers themselves employed Doug Legursky in that role in the past in their “Bronco” package. Well, now the Baltimore Ravens are heading in the opposite direction.
Fresh off the Physically Unable to Perform List, FB Patrick Ricard has now been getting reps along the offensive line. Like Green, he has a background playing along the defensive line—Richard has hundreds of NFL snaps there with the Ravens, though not in recent years—but offensive line is new to him.
