2019 Concrete Charlie Award Winner: Patrick Ricard

Three & Out Sports is very excited to announce that Patrick Ricard of the Baltimore Ravens has been awarded the very real and legitimate 2019 Concrete Charlie Award, which honors the best two-way player in the NFL. It is named after the last full-time two-way player, Philadelphia Eagles legend and accomplished Deion Sanders-hater Chuck Bednarik.

On offense, Ricard played 348 offensive snaps, mostly at fullback. He caught 8 passes for 47 yards and a touchdown, and his blocking helped the Ravens finish 1st in the league in rushing yards and rushing yards per attempt. He was named to the 2019 AFC Pro Bowl roster for his work at fullback. 

On defense, Ricard played 146 defensive snaps, mostly at defensive end. He recorded 9 tackles (8 solo), 1 tackle for loss, and 2 quarterback hits. As at team, the Ravens ranked thirds in points allowed and fourth in yards allowed. Ricard was an all-conference defensive end at the University of Maine.

Ricard contributed another 101 snaps on special teams. 

The committee seeks players who contribute as close to equally on both sides of the ball as possible, eliminating players like J.J. Watt, who are superstars on one side of the ball and contribute only a handful of snaps on the other over the course of the season.
