His NFL journey started when he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Moore played three seasons for the Cardinals before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons, but missed the entire 2024 season due to an injury during the team's training camp. In 2025, he signed with the Minnesota Vikings in free agency and was expected to provide an offensive spark for the team, but another torn ACL derailed his season.
Before he was in the NFL, though, Moore was one of the more explosive players in all of college football. Playing for the Purdue Boilermakers, he was an All-American as a Freshman before injuries took his momentum away the next two years. As a Freshman, Moore accumulated a whopping 1,471 yards on 135 touches and scored 14 touchdowns in the process.
His college coach was Jeff Brohm, who now coaches Louisville. Brohm released a statement tonight that reads, "Rondale Moore was a complete joy to coach. The ultimate competitor that wouldn't back down from any challenge. Rondale had a work ethic unmatched by anyone. A great teammate that would come through in any situation. We all loved Rondale, 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, we love him very much."
