Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson wants to be Redskins’ WR coach

Some new faces have become prevalent in Washington D.C. over the past year, with a crop of rookies and young players providing hope for a bright future, and a new head coach possessing the experience and level-headedness to get them there.

When you look at the wide receiver talent in Washington, you see a trio of dynamic rookies who made a name for themselves this season; Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon, and Steven Sims Jr. With the right coaching, that trio could become one of the better position groups in the NFL. But who is the right coach?

Could Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Jonson be the right answer? Johnson played 11 seasons in the NFL, where he was a six-time Pro-Bowler. With over 11,000 receiving yards in 10 seasons, Johnson would surely be able to teach the young guys a thing or two if he were to have a say in practice. Rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins seemed to be a fan of the idea as well.

Regardless of your thoughts on Johnson and his playing career, and his legitimate prospects as a position coach in the NFL, it’s hard to deny that he could be instrumental in the growing process for a young receiver.
