Chosen Anderson, the NFL wide receiver and Broward County product formerly known as Robbie Anderson, is signing with the Miami Dolphins, he announced on Instagram on Saturday night.
Anderson, a South Plantation High grad, was available upon his release from the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 17. Splitting time between Arizona and the Carolina Panthers in 2022, he totaled 20 receptions for 282 yards.
Anderson has been a productive NFL receiver over seven professional seasons out of Temple. He has 375 career receptions for 4,956 yards and 27 touchdowns, spending his first four seasons with the New York Jets. Anderson established a career high of 1,096 receiving yards in 2020, his first with the Panthers.
A 6-foot-3 pass-catching target, Anderson provides a bigger-bodied receiver to complement the Dolphins’ star receiver duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Miami is also trying to develop 2022 fourth-round pick Erik Ezukanma, could be looking for a trade partner for Cedrick Wilson Jr., a free-agent signing last offseason, and in the past month added slot receiver Braxton Berrios in free agency.
Anderson legally changed his first name to Chosen this offseason. A year earlier, he changed the spelling of his first name from Robby to Robbie.
In 2018, Anderson was arrested in Davie when police said he was speeding, driving recklessly and made threats against an officer. In 2017, Anderson was charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of justice after police said he fought with security officials after being asked to leave a Miami music festival.
The Cardinals saved $12 million in cap space by releasing Anderson in March.
