His cause of death is still under investigation, according to Tomlin.
Jeff Brohm, Moore’s coach at Purdue, confirmed the news of Moore’s death with a social media post on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday.
“Rondale Moore was a complete joy to coach. The ultimate competitor that would never back down to any challenge,” Brohm said in his post. “Rondale had a work ethic that was unmatched by anyone. A great teammate that would come through in any situation. We all loved Rondale and we loved his smile and competitive edge that always wanted to please everyone he came in contact with.
“We offer all of our thoughts and prayers to Rondale and his family and we love him very much.”
Moore played at Purdue from 2018 to 2020 before becoming a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Moore spent the 2025 season with the Vikings, but missed the entire season after sustaining a season-ending knee injury during the 2025 preseason opener.
