Wan'Dale Robinson receives Kentucky's highest civilian honor
Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson was recently honored by his home state of Kentucky by being named to The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, the state's highest civilian honor.
Born and raised in Frankfort, Kentucky, Robinson attended Western Hills High School, where as a senior, he took home several major honors.
He was considered to be the state's consensus top player after being named Kentucky's Mr. Football and the Gatorade Kentucky Player of the Year. He finished his high school career with 118 total touchdowns, with his 781 career points ranking No. 2 in Kentucky history.
Robinson received the honor at the 57th Annual Governor's Prayer Breakfast at Kentucky State University's Exum Center, where the young wide receiver served as the event's keynote speaker.
Robinson touched on a variety of topics, including how important it is to have gratitude for where he is today.
"It's very important," Robinson said. "I have always seen people that diminish people and things like that. It's just always good to lend a hand and always just be there for somebody no matter what."
The 24-year-old also discussed the importance of teamwork in order to have success.
"All 11 have to be working together for a play to work," Robinson explained. "Literally one guy can miss a block and the whole play looks very bad and everybody else can be doing their jobs."
Robinson is the second New York Giant to be named a Kentucky Colonel, joining legendary linebacker Harry Carson.
Other famous athletes to take home Kentucky's prestigious award include Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Darryl Strawberry, Arthur Ashe, Ty Cobb, Jeff Gordon and numerous others.
