A person’s name is their identity in the world whatever or whoever they might be. In most cases, a person does not choose their name and gets it at birth. But, a select few people change it during their lifetime. And how often do you listen about someone changing his/her name three times? However, an Arizona Cardinals wide receiver has left the NFL world in splits after changing his name for the third time while playing in the league.

What he wants to be called is Anderson’s own prerogative. It is his legal right to change his name however many times he wants to. But the jokes from the fans stem from the fact that he had a dismal 2022 season with the Cardinals.

Robbie Anderson started his 2022 campaign with the Carolina Panthers. And he started it brightly against the Cleveland Browns with a 102-yard game. But his season fell off a cliff after that.

He played four more games for the Panthers before the franchise decided to trade him to the Cardinals. But the wide receiver could not pick up his season in the new team. He had one 50-yard game against the New England Patriots and finished the season with a total of 282 receiving yards for both teams and just one touchdown. Will the name change help him to revive his career?
