Saying, "Chad Johnson is very active on Twitter," might be an understatement. In the past 24 hours, the former Miami Dolphin Wide Receiver posted a total of 26 Tweets and counting.

Miami native and current NFL Hall of Fame candidate, Chad Johnson is no stranger to saying outlandish things on Twitter (and in-person). However, when the guy casually mentions that NFL waterboys accrue a total of at least $53 thousand a year, it deserves some looking into.

Moral of the story: being a water boy is indeed an admirable and fruitful goal to have in life. Not only do you get to see some of the elite athletes in the world up close and personal on an almost day to day basis, but you also get free NFL merch. Now that's a sweet gig.
