Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson

"There's three things in life that's certain: Death, Taxes, and 85 will always be open." - Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson

This wide receiver thought so highly of himself, he had two different names. From 2008 through 2012, Chad Johnson had his name legally changed to Chad Ochocinco. Wearing No. 85 – which is “ochocinco” in Spanish – Johnson was known for colorful quotes, often involving how unstoppable he was. “There’s three things in life that’s certain,” he once said. “Death, taxes, and 85 gonna will always be open.” Another time, he said: “They’ve got a better chance of finding Osama than stopping me tonight.” Over the years, his creative end zone celebrations included pretending to give a football CPR, dropping to a knee and “proposing” to a cheerleader; and removing a pile-on and putting the football with it like a golfer. While a big trash talker, Johnson’s showboating lacked a malicious edge.  After an 11-year NFL career in which he exceeded 1,000 yards seven times, he played in the Canadian Football League and appeared on a VH1 reality dating show titled “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch.” Currently, he’s playing amateur soccer for the team, Boca Raton FC.
