Chad Johnson recently appeared on “Inside the NFL” and told audiences how he ended up building a brand around the name “Ochocinco.”
The idea started with two Bengals quarterbacks at the time.
According to the Cincinnati Bengals legend, Carson Palmer and Jordan Palmer came up to Johnson during Spanish Heritage Month in September and said, “Dude, you should put Ochenta y cinco on the back of your jersey.”
The receiver says he replied, “Dude, for what? That makes no sense.”
But then Johnson changed his mind, and he got a big assist from someone from the team’s personnel.
