The Miami Dolphins have added a veteran wide receiver to their offense.
On Sunday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Dolphins have signed speedy deep threat Chosen Anderson to a one-year contract. You may better know him from his previous name of “Robbie Anderson.”
Anderson joins a Miami offense that has two of the game’s fastest wideouts in veteran Tyreek Hill and young star Jaylen Waddle. Throw in the wheels of running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., and there is no shortage of quickness on this Miami group.
Anderson announced last month that he was changing his first name from “Robbie” to “Chosen.” He isn’t the first notable athlete to do so, either. Former NBA star Ron Artest switched his name to “Metta World Peace”, and ex-NFL wideout Chad Johnson temporarily changed his surname to “Ochocinco.”
The 29-year-old Anderson split the 2022 season with the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals. He was traded to the Cardinals in the midst of the 2022 season, finishing the year with 20 receptions for 282 yards and one touchdown.
Anderson had his best season with the Panthers in 2020, racking up 95 receptions for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns. For his career, Anderson has 375 receptions for 4,956 yards and 12 touchdowns.
