( 4UMF NEWS ) Ochocinco Changes Name:
Now that Chad Johnson has his name back, will his game also return?
The wideout known as Chad Ochocinco for the past four seasons reclaimed his given name in a Fort Lauderdale courthouse Monday. The return of Johnson’s surname closely follows his marriage to reality TV star Evelyn Lozada on July 4.
And with so much upheaval in 34-year-old Johnson’s life — he was cut by the New England Patriots and signed by the Miami Dolphins last month — we’re left to wonder if his production will also spike now that he’s “himself” again.
Chad by the numbers (season averages):
As Chad Johnson (7 seasons): 80 rec., 1,195 yards, 7 TDs
As Chad Ochocinco (4 seasons): 52 rec., 674 yards, 5 TDs
Of course, it stands to reason that NFL production stands to be better when you’re on the younger side of age 30.
