Ex-FSU WR Travis Rudolph hoping to continue playing football after being found not guilty of murder
Former New York Giants wide receiver Travis Rudolph was found not guilty of one charge of first-degree murder and three charges of attempted murder, and the former FSU star is hoping to play football again, now that the case is behind him.
“I got my freedom back,” Rudolph, 27, said following the jury’s decision, according to WPTV, “and I can get back to my life.”
Rudolph’s agent Zac Hiller told reporters the 27-year-old wideout was interested in returning to football, which aligned with what he told reporters outside of the courthouse, according to WPTV.
Rudolph played with the Giants and Dolphins before spending some time in the CFL with Winnipeg. He was released two years ago after he was charged with the murder. Rudolph is a big-bodied wide receiver who could be a huge asset for an XFL or USFL team right now.
