Ray Rice video: NFL players, alums express anger toward Ravens RB

A graphic Ray Rice video emerged early Monday morning in which the Ravens running back is seen knocking out his then-fiancée in an Atlantic City casino elevator, and the Twitter backlash began immediately.

It was nearly impossible to find anybody in support of Rice -- who is in the middle of a two-game suspension but now might be subject to even more, considering the NFL claims it had never seen the video before the rest of the public did.

It was not difficult, though, to take the temperature of many NFL players, current and former.

Here's the take of Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton.

Here's what Packers guard T.J. Lang had to say:

From former linebacker Scott Fujita:

From current CFL receiver Chad Ochocinco, who pleaded no contest to head-butting his then-wife in 2012:

From former Redskins linebacker London Fletcher:

And former offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley had a particularly strong take.

Thus far, the NFL, other than its statement that the league had not seen the tape before Monday, and the NFLPA have been silent.
