Although he was occasionally used in his first NFL season, he was already an important starting player in the position of running back from 2009 . He managed in its second season just 1,339 yards in 254 running game trains and came up with seven touchdowns . In addition, he caught 78 balls in the passing game and came to 702 yards and a touchdown. Because of his achievements, he was elected to the Pro Bowl for the first time that year .
In 2010 , Rice completed 1,220 yards in 307 runs and 556 yards in passing. He was able to record a total of 6 touchdowns.
Also in 2011 he made outstanding achievements. Statistically, this season was the best of his NFL career with a total of 15 touchdowns, running 1,364 yards and catching 76 balls for 704 yards. Rice ran the second most yards of all running backs, trailing just behind Maurice Jones-Drew . He was elected to the Pro Bowl for the second time that year and participated in the 2012 Pro Bowl .
The 2012 NFL season was Ray Rice's most successful sporting event. He became AFC Champion with the Ravens and won Super Bowl XLVII . Rice was also personally recognized for his seasonal performance by being elected to the Pro Bowl for the third time, making him a participant in the 2013 Pro Bowl .
In the 2013 season , Rice could not build on his previous performances in the NFL. He managed only 660 yards in 214 running plays and 321 yards in 58 passing plays. In total, he only had 4 touchdowns.
Domestic violence video scandal
On September 8, 2014, a video from a surveillance camera of an elevator at the Revel Hotel in Atlantic City surfaced on the Internet , showing Rice knocking his then fiancée Janay Palmer unconscious with a targeted slap in the face and then out of the elevator dragged.
The incident occurred back in March 2014. At that time, Palmer, who was married to Rice when the video was circulating in September 2014, did not testify in court and the charges against Rice were dropped. The NFL commissioner Roger Goodell imposed a two-game ban on Rice in this regard in July 2014. After the video was released in September, the general pressure on the NFL and Baltimore Ravens from media and international voices just before the 2014 season was so great that Rice was eventually sacked from the Ravens and banned from the NFL indefinitely. The Ravens even offered their fans the opportunity to exchange purchased Ray Rice jerseys for another player jersey free of charge.
Rice tried to re-establish himself in the NFL after the scandal and to find a new employer. He was even willing to forego his salary and donate it to campaigns against domestic violence so as not to leave the sports world in a scandal and, as he himself says, "save face in front of his children". At the same time, however, he saw that his NFL career was in all likelihood over for good.
