Sometimes something as trivial as choosing a jersey number could have a very significant meaning behind it. For instance, Wan’Dale Robinson used No. 17 on the New York Giants, but he has now chosen to pay homage to Rondale Moore, who unexpectedly passed away on February, 2026, by using the No. 4 jersey on the Tennessee Titans.
Speaking to Kay Adams on FanDuel TV, Robinson addressed himself changing from No. 17 to No. 4 on his jersey. “I didn’t want [No. 17], I was going in wanting a single digit, and then also my late friend, Rondale Moore, he wore No. 4. So that was kind of the reasoning behind me getting that number. Just kind of to honor him, and the time that he was here.”
Moore unexpectedly passed on February 2026 via a self-inflicted wound. Robinson and Moore became fast friends while training together in the Louisville area during Robinson’s final two years of high school. Now, every time he steps on the field, he will pay homage to a close friend he had.
Wan’Dale Robinson is called to shine for the Titans
Motivation will be sky-high for Robinson as he is honoring a friend. However, producing is what he is called to do as well. The Titans gave Robinson a four-year, $70 million deal in the offseason with $38 million guaranteed. That is big money, so he’s got high expectations.

In 2025, playing for the Giants, Robinson had 92 catches, 1,014 yards, and four touchdowns. He needs to be a constant 1,000-yard receiver if he wants to live up to the contract the Titans gave him.
