- While most other NFL newcomers would live it up with a lavish lifestyle, Chad Johnson, upon signing with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001, opted to keep things low-key, going as far as to live inside the Bengals’ stadium for the first two years of his career.
- Johnson, who played 11 seasons in the NFL, opened up about the decision during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay.”
- “You gotta remember, I stayed at the stadium the first two years because I didn’t want to spend no money,” Johnson, who went by the last name Ochocinco for four years, said.
