Chad Ochocinco
After skipping the team’s voluntary workouts to star on television, Cincy’s star receiver is back at practice.
Chad Ochocinco practiced for the first time today, joining his teammates on the first day of mandatory minicamp, ESPN reports. Ocho had previously been filming, and starring on, shows such as “Dancing With The Stars” and a reality dating program on VH1.
Quarterback Carson Palmer recently expressed his displeasure with Ocho missing voluntary time:
“It would be great to have our No. 1 receiver here and working him and building it around him,” Palmer said last week. “We’ve tried moving guys around. Maybe they’re trying to find a new No. 1 receiver because it’s hard to work your offense in without that guy around. We’ve moved Antonio [Bryant] around, he’s been playing some spots.
Now that he’s on the field, Chad can work toward improving on an impressive 2009 campaign in which he finished with 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns.
