Chad Ochocinco = Great Guy



I don't think there is an NFL player who has a bigger heart than Chad Ochocinco. I think his name change is ridiculous, I'm gonna refer to him as Chad Johnson for the rest of this post. He wasn't supposed to finish as high as he did on Dancing With the Stars but he did so because he has a tremendous heart. He's not afraid to show his human side which differentiates him from other star wide receivers in the NFL.

Nine-year-old Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr lives with this mother in a homeless shelter in New York City. He received an autographed jersey from Ochocinco after sending a letter. He then sent a second letter that would have melted the heart of the hardest individual.

Ruben's dream was to go to a football camp, and that particular prize was donated by Deion Sanders. Presenting the certificate for camp attendance, would be Chad Johnson. Ruben's hero was introduced after the young boy read his letter. It was also Reuben's birthday. Chad Johnson led the birthday song with the crowd at the camp. It was a touching moment & a tribute to a good man like Chad Johnson.

"It was the best day of my life," Ruben said at the end of the day.
