The Baltimore Ravens honored former running back and super bowl champion Ray Rice ahead of the Miami vs Baltimore battle on Dec. 31.
But before being recognized for his many feats Ray Rice and his children made a stop at Ravens Walk to chat with Kirk and Valerie!
We were lucky enough to hear many of Rice’s feelings on the celebration and his time spent playing.
Rice, speaking on being nominated as “Legend of The Game”, shared:
“This is such a real moment for us because my kids here get to experience it. These are things that you don’t ask for but you appreciate them when they come and we’re just overly grateful.”
As Rice carried on, he added that, just like us, he has butterflies and has before every game in his career.
And although they’re nerve-racking in the moment, don’t butterflies always lead to something special?
The iconic Raven shared what it means to be a legend, what it took to get there and how it feelings to carry that feeling when you’re not on the field.
I think we can all confidently agree with Rice when he exclaimed,
“Everybody knows I left it all on the field.”
