Even though he may no longer be able to help a team with his rushing skills, he's still valuable by speaking about his experience. Rice was a three-time Pro Bowl running back and Super Bowl champion before his arrest. Now, no team wants to touch him.
He has invaluable experience dealing with the highs and lows of a professional athlete, so he was invited to speak to the Baltimore rookies.
The team released a statement Thursday on his visit:
"Our 27 sessions to our rookies through our player engagement program review and teach life management and life lessons. Rice, who played for the Ravens from 2008-2014, delivered an important message that included his story, both the good and the bad. He clearly had the attention of our rookies.”
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has long said he'd welcome Ray Rice back to org. in a player support role. This was one-time thing for now
