The National Football League effectively blackballed Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice when video surfaced of Rice knocking his wife unconscious in Atlantic City and dragging her to a hotel elevator in 2014.

Rice has apparently resurfaced as a living warning poster for other football players about the dangers of bad decisions. Rice, who played for defensive coordinator Greg Schiano when Schiano coached Rutgers, spoke to the Ohio State team on "Real Life Wednesday."
