He’s not back in the NFL, but Ray Rice still has love for the city of Baltimore, and more importantly, the community.
Ray and Janay Rice heard about a youth football team working to take back a neighborhood park and they decided to help.

“This is big for us — I feel loved,” said 16-year-old Lauryn Hill.
“It makes me feel that people care about us,” said Chynia Dorsey, 16, another cheerleader. “People say Baltimore kids are trouble. This makes us feel awesome.”
