News breaking of the passing of Rondale Moore

[Alex C]

Saw the Vikings post on his passing. 

 

He was always a dude that I regret not getting to campus. He broke out his freshman year at Purdue on a national level with highlights.... Talk about tough to do at Purdue.

 

Then he was able to make it to the league and was sticking around and had the tools to break through. 

 

Sorry to hear this news and thoughts and prayers to his family.

Hate seeing news like this.   Self inflicted.   Only 25.

25 yrs old man I'm only 3yrs older than him its sad to see. I remember him going crazy against Ohio st in 2018 12 catches 170yrds 2 TD's rip rondale.

Back to back knee injuries are brutal. Sad he wasn't able to get help.

He was that generation of college player that just missed the boat on NIL. To have missed that, then have had the extremely difficult NFL career he had  I’m sure was mentally breaking.

Horrible. There are a ton of guys that are in very similar predicaments. Moore’s friends and family and all other guys suffering through similar circumstances need our prayers

I remember (I think) that he considered the Longhorns and I was hopeful that he would commit to play football at Texas. Very sad situation and is a reminder of how difficult things can seem, and especially having just missed out on the NIL era, as you noted.

RIP Rondale Moore

So sad when a 25 year old with his whole life in front of him feels like his life is not worth living.  RIP

I had to Google it to check my memory, but he was committed and flipped to Purdue late in the process

He was on campus.  He had a great interview that showed maturity beyond his age.  He had so much more to give to life than just football on Saturday or Sunday afternoons.

Yep.  I think his high school coach took the Purdue job and convinced him to drop Texas, something like that ...

He was here in Arizona for a while, a 2nd round draft pick by the Cards, but never quite got over the hump.

RIP

Thanks for the memory bump. Getting older isn't easy.

Appreciate your research on this because it has really saddened me to see such a talented young man fail to realize a dream because of the factors involved impacting his life.

Once again, RIP Rondale Moore.
