Chad Ochocinco Johnson, born Chad Javon Johnson on January 9, 1978, is a former professional football wide receiver who made a significant impact during his 11 seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Known for his flamboyant personality and exceptional talent, Johnson played college football for the Santa Monica Corsairs and the Oregon State Beavers before being drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He spent the majority of his career with the Bengals, where he became one of the most productive wide receivers of the 2000s, setting numerous franchise records. His jersey number, 85, inspired his temporary name change to "Ochocinco" from 2008 to 2012, a nod to his on-field persona.

During his time with the Bengals, Johnson was a six-time Pro Bowler and earned four All-Pro selections, solidifying his place as one of the top wide receivers of his era. His ability to create separation from defenders, combined with his speed and precise route running, made him a constant threat on the field. Johnson's contributions to the Bengals were so significant that he was voted the number one wide receiver on the Bengals' 40th Anniversary team. In 2011, he was traded to the New England Patriots, where he played in Super Bowl XLVI, though the team ultimately fell short in the championship game.

Johnson's career took a turn in 2012 when he signed with the Miami Dolphins but was released during the preseason following an arrest for domestic violence. Despite this setback, he continued his football journey by playing for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League (CFL) from 2014 to 2015. In 2017, he made a brief return to the field, playing one game for the Fundidores de Monterrey in Mexico's Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA). Beyond his on-field achievements, Johnson was also recognized for his influence off the field, being named the most influential athlete in social media by CNBC in 2011.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson's legacy in football is marked not only by his impressive statistics and accolades but also by his larger-than-life personality and ability to connect with fans. His unique approach to the game, both in terms of performance and self-promotion, made him a standout figure in the NFL. Today, Johnson remains a popular figure in sports media and continues to engage with fans through various platforms, maintaining his status as a beloved and influential sports personality.
