Ray Rice's journey back to the NFL has been a long, arduous, and a lonely one, with sparse supporters. Yet the unemployed Rice has found allies in the most unlikely of places.

"We have been around a lot of abusive men, but our experience with Ray has been tremendously positive. We feel strongly about him having the opportunity of having a second chance. He's deserving of it."
