His days with the Ravens may be long gone, but Ray Rice hasn't given up on his football career.
He spoke with a CBS sports radio show in New York about getting back into the NFL.
"I do want to play football again, and if I can't play again, I would at least like the opportunity to make a difference," said Rice.
Rice has been trying to rebuild his once-sterling reputation following a domestic violence incident involving his then-fiancé, in an Atlantic City casino elevator.
"One thing that I have done over the past year is really understand the severity of domestic violence," he said. "Everything I had done good in my life has gone to waste, and I'm in a lifelong process trying to rebuild my image."
He talked about needing to re-write the plan for his life--for the sake of his young daughter and stressed the importance of combating intimate partner violence.
"Domestic violence, especially man on woman, now that there's everything I've been through--I know there's no place in society for it.
