The Baltimore Ravens sign fullback Vonta Leach

The Ravens have signed 29-year old fullback Vonta Leach to a 3-year, $11 million dollar deal.  Leach played in 16 games (5 starts) for the Texans last year and he didn’t carry the ball even one time.  He did catch 8 passes for 91 yards (11.4 avg) and he also made it to the first Pro Bowl of his NFL career because of his blocking.  Leach has now played in 98 games (43 starts) in his first 7 years in the NFL and he has carried the ball 3 times for 3 yards (1.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He has also caught 76 passes for 537 yards (7.1 avg) with 4 TD grabs so far in his NFL career.  Ray Rice has to be very happy as Leach is a outstanding lead blocker in the running game.
