Former Baltimore Ravens running back and domestic abuser Ray Rice spoke sat down with ESPN’s Jemele Hill to discuss his life after the crime and he claimed to be a “rehabilitated man.”

The former all-pro running back was caught on camera dragging his unconscious then fiancee, now wife, Janay Rice out of an elevator in February 2014.

“I’m a rehabilitated man. I took this year as an injury, like mentally. Mentally I went through a lot. I can understand some people will never forgive my actions but I think that every step that I took going forward right now. Over time I want to be able to rewrite the script to tell my daughter, ‘Daddy made the worst decision of his life, but this is what I did going forward.'”

Rice is currently a free agent and looking to get another shot in the NFL after he was released by the Ravens
