Former Purdue standout and NFL receiver Rondale Moore died on Saturday at the age of 25.
Police in his hometown of New Albany, Indiana, told The Associated Press that Moore was found in a garage with a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The death remains under investigation.
“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rondale Moore,” the Vikings said in a statement. “While we are working to understand the facts, we have spoken with Rondale’s family to offer our condolences and the full support of the Minnesota Vikings. We have also been in communication with our players, coaches, and staff, and will make counseling and emotional support resources available to anyone in need. Our thoughts are with Rondale’s family and friends during this devastating time.”
The Baltimore Ravens also expressed their condolences via a statement released Sunday afternoon.
Moore was a second round draft selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021, but has been injured for multiple seasons and most recently was with the Minnesota Vikings. Moore spent 2025 with the Vikings in the offseason and throughout training camp before suffering a season-ending knee injury while returning a punt in the preseason.
