{{NFL.com player}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata. Chad Johnson (born January 9th, 1978 in Miami, Florida), is an American football wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). The Bengals drafted him from Oregon State University in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft, and he has played for them ever since.
College career
Johnson attended Oregon State University, where he led the Oregon State Beavers to an 11-1 season, which was capped off by a Fiesta Bowl Championship. Before attending Oregon State, Chad Johnson attended Langston University.
Professional career
Johnson saw moderate playing time as a rookie, catching 28 passes for 329 yards and one touchdown. Since, he has amassed over 1,100 receiving yards in each of four seasons, being named to the Pro Bowl in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. Furthermore, in 2003, Johnson set a Bengals franchise record by recording 1,355 receiving yards. He later surpassed the record in 2005, recording 1,432 yards. Chad Johnson has led the AFC in receiving yards for three seasons.
In addition to being one of the most productive receivers in the NFL, Johnson is also one of the most popular ones. In the fan voting for the 2006 Pro Bowl, Johnson finished first in votes for wide receivers, and fourth overall with 987,650 total votes. [1] He has earned nationwide attention for his flamboyant attitude, which is often seen during his infamous end zone celebrations after catching touchdown passes. In a list released in August 2006 by Fox Sports listing the top 10 showboats in professional sports, Chad topped the list. [2] Furthermore, Johnson has drawn even more attention to himself with his gilded grills, earrings, and as of 2006, his bleach blond mohawk.
On April 20th, 2006, Johnson signed a contract extension. The deal, which pays Johnson an additional $35.5 million, will last up to 2011. [3]
Chad's list
During the 2005 NFL season, Johnson announced that he would keep a checklist which would evaluate the defensive backs that successfully managed to cover him. On November 2nd, 2005, Marvin Lewis, the Bengal’s head coach, replaced Johnson’s list with another one entitled, Did 85 do everything he could to lead his team to victory 11-6-05. The list, an obvious parody of the original, asked several questions regarding Johnson’s performance both on and off the field. [1],
According the Bengal’s official website, the list was aimed to galvanize the Baltimore Ravens, whom the Bengals would play in four days. Johnson was not pleased with the newest, as he had developed a superstitious faith in the older list. Nevertheless, Johnson had only a mediocre performance during the game, prompting the return of the original list.
Trivia
- Johnson's teammate from Oregon State University, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, was also drafted by the Bengals in the seventh round of the same draft. Also, two of Johnson's cousins, Keyshawn Johnson and Samari Rolle, are also notable NFL players.
