Chad Johnson announces he is the best!
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
The ultimate Bengal - Chad Johnson
Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals is the best wide receiver in the game today. Just ask him.
Johnson wears a shirt that says Future H.O.F. 20? (That is, Future Hall of Fame)
Some think that makes Chad a big mouth showoff and should not be liked. The funny part is that Chad does it with a sense of playfulness. He makes it fun. Chad, you can tell, loves football.
For his entire seven-year career as a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, though, Chad Johnson has always been the kid going to the playground. That makes him the NFL’s most fun player to watch. Die-hard fans spend every weekend for four months watching football because they love the game, but sometimes the fans wonder whether the players love it like they do. No one has ever questioned whether Johnson loves football. source
Still not convinced that Chad Johnson is the best? (Squibster full disclosure - Chad is on one of my Fantasy Football Team Naruto)
NFL Football Chad Johnson factoid Chad has 42 touchdowns and 7,000 yards in his career. He has gone over 1,000 yards 5 years in a row. A testament to his durability.
There is another side to Chad Johnson that we wish all our heroes had. He is tough. Yes, Chad Johnson is very tough. That is the way we want our football players to be and that is the way he is.
And don’t think for a moment that running perfect routes does not help Carson Palmer to the nth degree. Quarterbacks love when they know where their receiver will be at all times.
But Johnson is so much more than that. Hardly anyone commented on what happened a little later in Monday night’s game. On the Bengals’ first play of the second quarter, Johnson ran the ball on an end-around and was tackled by Ravens safety Dawan Landry. As Johnson got up after Landry’s tackle, he grimaced, clutched his leg and was clearly hurting. It looked like he would have to come off the field.
But he stayed on the field, and he did more than that. Even though he was hurting and couldn’t run at full speed, he caught passes on the Bengals’ next two plays. And later on the drive — still in obvious pain and noticeably limping between plays, mind you — Johnson ran an absolutely perfect route to get open in the middle of the Ravens’ defense and pick up 33 yards.
So he may show off and he may be loud, but Chad Johnson is busy loving football, playing tough, and running perfect routes. So Chad is doing more than just flapping his lips.
The second — and even more important — reason to appreciate Johnson’s brand of trash talk is that he can back it up on the field. Johnson led the league in receiving yards last year and has been selected to four Pro Bowls.
Maybe Chad announced he was the best, because he is the best?
