Chad Johnson

Chad Johnson -
Born: January 9, 1978
Miami, Florida.

When he was drafted into the NFL, Chad said that his goal was to be in the Pro Bowl four of his first five years. As a new NFL player, Chad saw quite a bit of playing time, catching 28 passes for 329 yards and 1 touchdown. In 2003 he was named to the Pro Bowl and has been in the Pro Bowl ever since. When he was selected for his fourth Pro Bowl in 2006, Chad accomplished his goal.

Fan voting for the 2006 Pro Bowl selected Chad as the most popular wide receiver with 987,650 total votes.

Chad has earned nationwide attention for his flamboyant attitude, which is often seen during end zone celebrations after catching touchdown passes. He’s known for using props like his pylon putt (for which he was fined $5,000) or antics like pretend marriage proposals. 

Chad currently has an extended contract with the NFL that will last until 2011 and pay him an additional $35.5 million.
