Former FSU Receiver Travis Rudolph Charged With Murder

Former NFL and Florida State wide receiver Travis Rudolph has been arrested on charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Rudolph is currently being held without bail.

Rudolph, 25, played for the Seminoles from 2014-16. He had a successful career in Tallahassee, hauling in 153 catches for 2,311 yards and 18 scores. He then signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent.

He spent parts of the 2017 and 2018 seasons with the Giants before briefly landing on the practice squad for the Miami Dolphins. Rudolph last played with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL in 2020, and is currently on the roster.
