"NFL wide receiver Rondale Moore was found dead Saturday night from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. He was 25. Moore was found dead inside a garage in his hometown of New Albany, Ind., according to the local police chief, Todd Bailey. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday to confirm Moore's cause of death. In the past two NFL seasons, Moore suffered devastating preseason injuries that ended his seasons before they could start."
"Before his NFL career, Moore was a star wide receiver at Purdue University in college and was named an All-American for his outstanding freshman year in 2018. That year, Moore memorably totaled 194 yards and two touchdowns in an upset of No. 2 Ohio State. Though his following two collegiate seasons were cut short by injury, the Arizona Cardinals selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft."
Rondale Moore, 25, was found dead inside a garage in New Albany, Indiana, from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound; an autopsy was scheduled to confirm the cause of death. Moore suffered consecutive, season-ending preseason knee injuries with the Atlanta Falcons (dislocated right knee in 2024) and the Minnesota Vikings (torn ACL on a punt return in 2025). Moore starred at Purdue, earning All-American honors as a freshman in 2018 and producing 194 yards and two touchdowns in a win over No. 2 Ohio State. The Arizona Cardinals selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft; he caught 135 passes for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns over three seasons before a trade to Atlanta. Teammates and coaches reacted with shock and grief.
