A former NFL Super Bowl-winning head coach believes disgraced player Ray Rice could find it difficult to get back into American Football, in similar circumstances to rapist Ched Evans.

Rice made headlines for the wrong reasons late last year after footage emerged of him violently knocking out his then fiancee in a lift and dragging her body back to their room.

While he is allowed to sign with a franchise, there are yet to be any possible suitors for the running back.
