Seems to be self inflicted. His freshman season at Purdue was incredible.
RIP Rondale Moore

Same here. If we could get counseling to the victims before suicide, there has to be a way out no matter how bad things are. But somehow we don't see it coming.
RIP
Very sad. Was looking forward to him playing for the Vikings last year, only to see him get hurt in first preseason game. His freshman year at Purdue was pretty special.

At Purdue, Moore was an Associated Press 1st Team All-American as an all-purpose player during his freshman season in 2018.
Moore had 1,915 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns while also rushing for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns in 3 seasons with the Boilermakers.
He was the #49 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In 5 NFL seasons he eared $11.8M.
During the last 2 seasons he was dealing with knee injuries.
--> He missed the 2024 season after suffering a dislocated right knee while with the Atlanta Falcons.
--> He most recently spent time with the Vikings, participating in their 2025 offseason and training camp, before suffering a season-ending left knee injury while returning a punt Aug. 9 in the team's preseason opener.
He was just 25 years old.

So tragic. May he RIP, and may this serve as a cautionary reminder that we should always be mindful and reaching out to each other.
He sure got smacked down by the injury bug. Prior to that, his freshman season was amazing. Returns, receptions, rushes, whatever, he was literally a big play that was going to happen every single game.

Sad news. And sad that someone so young believes life is over at 25. Breaks your heart.
