DALLAS — Unsigned for two years since the release of the horrific video of him punching his then-fiancee, Ray Rice says his second chance has come through a choice to speak out against domestic violence.

The former Baltimore running back still wants to resume his NFL career. He spoke Wednesday after joining a Big 12-sponsored panel to discuss violence against women on college campuses.

He says his work shows he’s not giving up, and it will have more impact than anything he does on the field.

If he doesn’t play again, the 29-year-old Rice says that will be his second chance.
