NFL Star Rondale Moore Found Dead at 25 — Football World in Shock
The NFL community is reeling tonight after the sudden and heartbreaking death of Rondale Moore at just 25 years old.
Authorities in New Albany, Indiana, say the young wide receiver was found dead in his hometown and police are investigating what they describe as a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. An autopsy is scheduled and officials say the investigation remains ongoing. For many fans, teammates and coaches, the news feels impossible to process.
Rondale Moore’s journey to the NFL began in Indiana, where he became a local standout before exploding onto the national stage at Purdue University. As a freshman, he was electric. He earned All-American honors and quickly built a reputation as one of the most dynamic playmakers in college football. His speed, balance and fearless style made him a nightmare for defenses.
In 2021, he was drafted in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals. Early in his professional career, Moore showed flashes of that same brilliance. He contributed as a receiver and as a return specialist, piling up over a thousand receiving yards across three seasons. But injuries began to shadow his progress.

After being traded to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, a serious knee injury during training camp ended his season before it even began. Then came another opportunity with the Minnesota Vikings in 2025.
