Looks like Ochocinco may have landed himself a new gig
The always-entertaining ex NFL wide receiver Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is planning a return to football, but in a slightly different role.
The former Bengals standout apparently made several cold calls to good friend and Browns coach Hue Jackson to see if he would be interested in adding Johnson to his staff.
Gonna ask Hue if I can join the Browns coaching staff as a "route running specialist" assistant receiver coach, what's the worse he can say.

What a blessing Hue Jackson is, see y'all in Cleveland on the 28th, no cleats this time just knowledge

NFL.com confirmed that Hue Jackson invited Johnson to training camp to spend some time with the team's receiving corps, but not in an official capacity with the team. Yet.
Johnson spent 11 years in the NFL and retired after the 2011 season with 766 receptions, 11,059 yards, 67 touchdowns, and some of the most interesting touchdown celebrations we've ever seen.
