The strange saga that is Chad Johnson’s, a.k.a. Chad Ochocinco’s, life took another turn recently and it goes to show how good of person he can be. Johnson recently befriended a homeless man named PorkChop and the adventures began.
Johnson has tweeted pictures about his adventures with PorkChop and it appears as though the pair is having a great time.

Johnson took him out, bought him food, clothes and even took him to the club and sat in the V.I.P section with his newest friend.
What a great gesture by Johnson and a great show of compassion by a person who was arrested for domestic vilonece last year. Johnson has always seemed like a caring person and this latest act of generosity proves that. Even if he did it for the exposure or for the press, he’s still making a big difference in one man’s life and that is incredible. Johnson doesn’t have to do any of this but he has taken it upon himself to help out someone down on his luck and he deserves to be applauded for it.
Its acts of kindness like this that allow us remember how much of an impact an athlete can make in somebody’s life. It also serves as a reminder that not all athletes are selfish people who care about only themselves. Johnson did a wonderful thing and it shows that athletes can still be role models.
Chad Johnson isn’t playing football anymore but he’s still making a difference in one person’s life. Only this time he’s being recognized for his unselfish behavior.
