The opportunity to kick in the XFL has presented itself, i must tryout Monday in Houston, I’m excited as hell & I’m sure all will go well 🙏🏿 — Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) January 14, 2020

Can I get a hell yea?!

Chad Ochocinco is trying out as a kicker for the XFL. Never thought I would see, hear, or say that. However, we are all here for it! This is a genius move by Vince and the XFL. Ochocinco is exactly what we need to get us excited for football in the Spring. He brings familiarity and personality to a league that has none of it. Put a mic on him the entire game, and watch the ratings rise. Who wouldn’t want to listen to the shit that comes out of his mouth?

Chad Ochocinco turns 42 today. An absolute legend on the mic 🎤

Can he kick?

That’s the one question everyone is asking themselves. It’s probably what Ochocinco is asking himself. We know the man is a fucking athlete. Eli Apple probably couldn’t hold this 42 year old’s jock strap. He also has a soccer background, and not just on the sticks in FIFA. In 2019, he played for Boca Raton FC in the United Premier Soccer League. Guessing the soccer career didn’t work out if he is trying out for the XFL. Obviously, Ochocinco wasn’t known for drilling kicks in the NFL. However, when he was given the chance to show what he’s got, the athlete in him came out…

And he’s still got it..

Not bad for a wide receiver. We can only hope that Ochocinco is given a fair shot and gets picked up by a team. Fuck it, even if he isn’t the best kicker, someone should sign him anyway. Judging by the rules, kicker won’t be a very important position. Whichever team has the balls to sign this freak of an athlete, will gain some new fans. Can you imagine the trick plays a special teams coach can come up with? Don’t fuck this up Vince! This is Domi departing, hold it.
