The NFL is once again mourning one of its own, prompting Giants quarterback Russell Wilson to look beyond the field and issue a powerful call for compassion and unity. The veteran shared a heartfelt message dedicated to the late NFL star.

“God… we need You,” wrote Wilson on X. “Show me, my teammates, my brothers… how to help. Show us the way. We aren’t alone even when it feels like we are. Allow us to communicate to one another and pray for one another. We need you now!”

Though Wilson and Moore never played together, the Seattle Seahawks legend showed compassion towards him as a fellow football player. His message preached love and kindness, and the importance of faith and communication.

He also sent condolences to the Vikings player’s friends and family amid this unfortunate loss in another tweet. He focused on the importance of mental health in the NFL community, which could reduce similar losses in the future.

The WR’s body was found in a garage of a property in New Albany, Indiana, which is his hometown. When the local police were called to the location on the evening of February 21, he was pronounced dead.

The authorities indicated the reason behind the death was a self-inflicted gunshot. However, the investigation is underway, which can later confirm the details behind the tragic incident.

At the time of his demise, Moore was only 25. The wide receiver was the second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he was selected by the Arizona Cardinals, where he spent the first three seasons of his career. Then, he was picked by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2024 season, before signing with the Vikings in the final season of his career.

Despite his talent and potential, repeated injuries hurt his professional growth in the past two seasons. Moore’s passing was not the only tragic loss in the NFL at such a young age.

Rondale Moore’s passing adds to recent NFL tragedies at a young age

Over the years, many football stars in the NFL have tragically passed away due to suicide or accidents, with some losing their lives in their 20s, like Rondale Moore.

On November 6, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys defensive end, Marshawn Kneeland, also passed away in an identical incident. The report suggested that he ended his life in a self-inflicted gunshot, passing away at only 24 despite showing great potential on the field.

Another Minnesota Vikings player, Khyree Jackson, lost his life in a car crash in July 2024. He played as a cornerback and was only 24 at the time of the incident.

The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, Jaylon Ferguson, lost his life at the peak of his NFL career in June 2022. The third-round 2019 NFL Draft pick was approaching the fourth season with the Ravens, but life had other plans.

Besides the NFL community, Moore’s family is mourning the untimely death of the football player. Although he reportedly doesn’t have a wife or partner, his mother, Quincy Ricketts, with whom he shared a strong relationship, survives him.
