New Titans receiver Wan’Dale Robinson is making a heartfelt tribute to his late friend this season with his jersey number.
During an appearance on “Up and Adams” on Thursday, Robinson shared with host Kay Adams that he chose No. 4 as a way to honor Rondale Moore, who tragically passed away earlier this year.
Moore had donned this number while playing for the Cardinals and Vikings.
“I really wanted a single-digit number, and my late friend Rondale Moore wore No. 4,” Robinson explained. He previously wore No. 17 during his tenure with the Giants, adding that choosing this number was a way to remember his friend and recognize his impact.
Moore was discovered deceased in his Indiana home back in February. Authorities reported that the 25-year-old’s death was likely due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Robinson noted that he and Moore, both of whom are from the Louisville area, had trained together and shared the experience of being shorter receivers. They both committed to Big Ten schools—Robinson went to Nebraska for two years before transferring to Kentucky, while Moore played at Purdue.
Robinson expressed that he didn’t want to continue wearing No. 17 with the Titans, as it had been worn by others like Chaimera Dike and first-round pick Colonel Tate. He felt it was important to make the change, allowing for an opportunity to honor friends.
“That’s what I aimed for. I wanted No. 4. And with Colonel, I’m not really sure what happened with him and Chim,” Robinson mentioned, reflecting on the past while emphasizing the importance of honoring those they’ve lost.
In 2025, Robinson achieved over 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career during his final year with the Giants.
After signing a three-year, $78 million deal, he is set to reconnect with the Titans’ new offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, who was also his coach with the Giants.
