Arizona Cardinals' Robbie Anderson appears to change first name to 'Chosen'

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson appears to have changed his first name again, but this time it is more than a simple change.

Last year, Anderson changed the spelling of "Robby" to "Robbie" reportedly to go with his preferred spelling of the name growing up.

According to recent social media posts, his latest first name change is anything but simple.

Anderson recently shared on social media a post of what appears to be a text thread with his lawyer that appears to reveal that a name change had been granted to the wide receiver.

"Great news! Our motion for reconsideration worked! Name changes granted an official!" one of the texts said.

His social media pages now have his name as "Anderson R, Chosen," leading many to believe that his new first name is "Chosen."
