Chad Johnson ready to help train Jeff Okudah

Chad Johnson keeps busy in his post-NFL days working with cornerbacks and wide receivers. The five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver also offers an unfiltered social media presence, as anyone who knew “Ochocinco” in his playing days would expect.

On Thursday, Johnson was working with Jaguars first-round cornerback, C.J. Henderson. He posted a picture on Twitter of himself and Henderson lined up, with new Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater also in the frame. Somehow Lions first-rounder, Jeff Okudah, must have come up as a topic of conversation.

About an hour after working with Henderson, Johnson reached out to Okudah via Twitter with a burning desire to work with the Ohio State standout.

It didn’t take long for Okudah to respond…

Johnson was a wizard of a route-runner in his illustrious career with the Bengals and Patriots. If he can help Okudah right out of the gate, it’s a win-win for the Lions.
