RIP Rondale Moore

[Golsen82]

What happened?

 

[dolemite79]

According to reports he took his own life. Tragic.

 

[Gru]

Self inflicted gunshot. Hate to hear it

blessings to his family ... mental health is real

 

[KANE]

****! Way too young. Check on your folks fellas. Like @ageezy said above, “mental health is real”.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Too much of this happening so tragic

 

[Brains]

I don't get it. Played 5 years in the League. Only 26. Seemed to have everything going for him.

Just wonder if his season ending injury this past year had something to do with it?

Didn’t Dallas have a player that died by suicide recently too?

Both NFL and NCAA need to do more!

It sucks to have your career cut short due to injury, but he was young and had done very well for himself. Hard to figure, and hard to take.

Rondale was a special talent. I still remember the game where Purdue crushed Taint. He had a monster game that day. He pretty much beat the brakes off of the Suckeyes by himself. Final score I think was 49-13.

Unfortunately, he suffered a bad injury his rookie season and was never the same. Even though he played a few years in the league, he was a shell of himself, and then he suffered another serious injury this past season.

This is no doubt a tragic loss. Gone way too soon. Prayers for all of his family and friends.

He tore his ACL on the first play back from tearing his knee in the preseason the year before. I am sure he felt his career was over. Tough on your mental health.

 

[Dr. House]

Check up on your people. He'll always be remembered for being the key factor in one of the great upsets college football has seen.

A lot of these great athletes really struggle to adjust/adapt to post-football life...

Gen pop male is 3x more likely to off himself than NFL player. Says the stats.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here..

 

[Canesfreak]

So horrific. I remember him balling on TV in one of the HS All Star games and was blown away. Then at Purdue totally going off when they beat OSU. Truly awful.

Unfortunately some athletes entire sense of self is based upon their ability to play their chosen sport. Their worth and value are dependent upon their success on the field. Not saying that is what contributed to his mental health issues, but something that coaches and inner circles/families should be sensitive to. Regardless, what a waste of a future. So sad

Not disagreeing. That concept applies to many careers.

 

[BoxingRobes]

170 and 2 TDs in the biggest win in recent program memory in an absolute beat down of Ohio State.

Believe that was the game where the world was introduced to Tyler Trent, the Purdue fan that died from cancer @ 20 after predicting the upset.

Dwayne Haskins, also dead. Starting QB for Ohio State.
