Ocho Cinco likes him some veinte apparently.
Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson might be retired, but he still likes to be in and around the culture of the league. He has expressed interest in working out with former Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah, and now it appears he was taking in Las Vegas Raiders practice recently when something — or rather someone — caught his eye.
Johnson tweeted some high praise for Damon Arnette on Thursday, though he didn’t know who it was that impressed him, referring to the former Ohio State corner by number only.
“I’m not sure who number 20 is for the Raiders but please let him know whoever he trained with needs a significant raise because his technique, patience & lateral movement is power point worthy,” tweeted the former Cincinnati Bengal.

Arnette was taken somewhat surprisingly in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Raiders as the No. 19 overall pick. Many experts and analysts thought it was a reach, but he seems to be showing everyone so far that Las Vegas knew what it was doing.
The mention caught the eye of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day as well. He let everyone know where Arnette came from with a BIA retweet.
