Wan\u2019Dale Robinson<\/a> is rocking powder blue this fall for the Tennessee Titans. In addition to a change in color, the former Wildcat wide receiver is also changing his number. <\/p>\n

Robinson wore No. 17 through his first four NFL seasons with the New York Giants. After signing a four-year, $70 million deal with the Titans, he\u2019s switching to No. 4 to honor his long-time friend. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy late-friend Rondale Moore<\/a>, he wore No. 4. That was the reason behind me getting that number, to honor him and the time that he was here,\u201d Robinson told Kay Adams<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Rondale Moore tragically died by suicide in February. Wan\u2019Dale is from Frankfort and Rondale grew up in New Albany, but the two undersized pass-catchers spent their teenage years working out together at Aspirations Gym in Louisville. This is a small but powerful gesture by Robinson to salute his longtime friend. <\/p>\n

Wan\u2019Dale Robinson Fired Up to be a Titan<\/p>\n

The Tennessee Titans struggled to a 3-14 record in 2025. Despite those struggles, former No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward<\/a> showed plenty of potential. He just needed some help. The Titans selected former Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate<\/a> with the No. 4 overall pick to run alongside Robinson and give Ward some weapons. It took some time to get used to playing with his new quarterback, but Robinson is confident he made the right choice in free agency. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou better have your head around, because the ball is coming out fast. But it\u2019s been great. He\u2019s putting it right where it needs to be. It took a little bit to get used to the first two days, but after that we\u2019ve been clicking on all cylinders,\u201d Robinson said on Up and Adams. <\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t really had a quarterback that as soon as you put your foot in the ground, the ball is out. As soon as you turn your head, it\u2019s already there. Running some of the plays that he likes to run and is comfortable with, you can really tell the confidence that he has throwing the ball. It\u2019s coming out hot.\u201d <\/p>\n

The record-breaking Kentucky wide receiver became the shortest player in NFL history to record a 1,000-yard season last fall. Hopefully, Wan\u2019Dale Robinson can create some more magic in Nashville after signing a lucrative deal this offseason. <\/p>\n

Back in Lexington <\/p>\n

Now that OTAs have reached a conclusion, Wan\u2019Dale Robinson has more time to spend in his old Kentucky home. He was in Lexington on Saturday, hosting a youth football camp at Tates Creek High School. <\/p>\n
