Ray Rice and the NFL are finally together again, even if it's not in the way that the former Pro Bowl running back from Rutgers envisioned.
Rice will be part of the NFL's annual social responsibility presentation to players and staff this year, according to multiple reports. It's a program that was created in the aftermath of Rice's suspension when a video surfaced of him punching his now-wife in the face during an argument in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino in 2014.
Though always circulating in the free-agent rumor mill, Rice, 30, hasn't played in a NFL game since the incident despite multiple sincere apologies, acknowledgements of wrongdoing and becoming a leading speaker against domestic violence by sharing his own cautionary tale.
