Ochocinco Says He Used Teammates' Urine to Stay Healthy
The former star receiver sat down for an interview with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith as part of the Super Bowl week festivities. During the interview, one of the questions that Stephen A. asked Chad was how he managed to stay healthy throughout a long playing career. Ochocino shockingly revealed that one of his secrets was rubbing urine on his teammates's ankles.
"My grandma told me it's the only way, it's why I never got hurt," OchoCinco said to Stephen A.
"I was focused, I would sleep alone," the former star receiver added.
"The urine, the toxins inside of it stops the swellings in less than 24 hours."
Smith responded by telling OchoCino that the ritual was "very nasty," and people on social media agreed.
"He was a FREAK on and off the field," one person said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Not sure how you keep a straight face with answers like that," another person added.
Ochocinco Gets Honest About George Pickens
Following a loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wild Card Round, the future of many of the future Pittsburgh players hangs in the balance. One of those players could be Steelers wide receiver George Pickens who was involved in a decent amount of off-the-field drama this year.
But regardless of his antics off the field, Pickens is a BALLER. OchoCinco says that fans can expect to see a more focused version of the star receiver in 2025.
"I guarantee you won't have any problems out of him no more," Johnson said on Wednesday via the NightCap Youtube channel.
"I done had that conversation with him. I guarantee you, and I don't want to sit here and talk about what we talked about, but I told him, 'Listen, that window of opportunity? That b—— shrink real fast now.' It don't matter how good you are, and I'll use your line, 'They'll tolerate you until they can replace you.'"
