Cardinals organization mourns sudden loss of former WR Rondale Moore
The Arizona Cardinals organization expressed profound grief following the tragic death of former wide receiver Rondale Moore, who passed away Saturday at age 25 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Indiana hometown.
Devastated by the loss
In an official statement, the Cardinals described themselves as “devastated and heartbroken” by Moore’s passing, extending condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and all who knew the young receiver during his three seasons with the team. Moore, whom Arizona selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, compiled 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns during his tenure with the franchise.
Remembering his impact
The organization’s statement emphasized Moore’s qualities beyond statistics, remembering him as “a special person” whose sudden death has sent shockwaves through the NFL community. Moore’s career was marked by promising flashes of the explosive talent that made him a standout at Purdue University, though his later years were hampered by knee injuries that limited his playing time with Atlanta and Minnesota
