Rondale Moore Dies 10 Years After Pinned Tweet

Former Purdue and NFL player Rondale Moore died at 25, coincidentally 10 years after pinning a tweet that read 'Be patient.'

Rondale Moore, who starred at Purdue and played in the NFL, died at age 25 from what police suspect was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His pinned tweet from February 21, 2016, read 'Note to self: Be patient' - exactly 10 years before his death.

The New Albany native was known for his humility and team-first approach. As a Purdue freshman, he set a team record for all-purpose yards in a game and earned first-team All-American honors before being selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals.
