22. Ochocinco knows CPR

Nobody was more over the top when it comes to excessively celebrating touchdowns in the NFL than former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson. Though he was spindly, he was so fast on the outside. He did a lot of great work to give that rocket right arm of Carson Palmer’s opportunities to throw wide open touchdowns.

Ochocinco as he would be known as for most of his NFL career, though it was important to put on a show for the fine folks of Cincinnati every time they came to Paul Brown Stadium to watch him play. Most of his celebrations were playful. One with his own homemade Hall of Fame jacket definitely rubbed people the wrong way. That wasn’t smart.

Outside of that, Ochocinco was just Ochocinco. He’d do things like use the pylon to chip shot the football somewhere to control the camera for CBS during telecasts. One of his funniest touchdown celebrations was definitely when he gave the poor football CPR.

Ochocinco was never really into school during that one year he starred at Oregon State, but all trusted Ochcocinco with that poor football’s life for sure. If there is anybody on Planet Earth that could bring an inanimate object back to life, it would be Chad 8-5 from the Bengals. You don’t need to go to school or pronounce ochenta y cinco correctly to be a fake football doctor. Michael Scott could have learned at least 14 things from Ochocinco on saving football lives. RIP that Scranton mannequin.
