Terrible news.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the Rudolph’s family, such senseless violence.
Here is what we know via the Orlando Sentinel.
Former Florida State receiver Travis Rudolph’s father, Darryl, died over the weekend.
Darryl Rudolph’s age and time of death are not known at this time.
ESPN West Palm, a radio affiliate in West Palm Beach, first reported late Sunday night that Darryl Rudolph died after being shot while working near a nightclub in the area.
Family members started posting their condolences to the Facebook page of Linda Rudolph, Travis’ mother, on Saturday night.
Rudolph is projected to be a fifth- or sixth-round pick in the NFL draft, which begins Thursday in Philadelphia.
If you recall Rudolph made national news when he sat with an autistic middle school student who was sitting alone.
This should have been one of the best weeks of Rudolph’s life, but now it has been filled with tragedy.
