Prayers are pouring in after three "sudden" NFL player deaths this weekend.
Current NFL wide receiver Rondale Moore, who starred collegiately at Purdue, has died. He was just 25 years old. Moore was one of the best wide receivers in the country during his time in college. His college coach, Jeff Brohm, announced the news.
"Rondale Moore was a complete joy to coach," Brohm said. "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 love 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."
