Chad Ochocinco Johnson used teammates urine to ward off injuries during NFL career

Former star receiver Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson had his secret formula for staying healthy re-revealed during a podcast appearance last week. While hoping on the “7PM in Brooklyn,” which had been released on Thursday, the hosts played an old clip of Johnson discussing how he used to “collect warm urine from my teammates, heat it up and put my ankle in it for 30 minutes” to fend off ankle sprains. Upon hearing the comments, which had originally made back in 2016, Johnson reiterated how helpful that method had been. “Yeah, that worked,” he said during the recent podcast appearance. “There’s a reason I never been injured — home remedies.… I’m sitting here living proof,” he said. Johnson only missed 10 games over the course of his 11-year career in the NFL, which included 10 seasons with the Bengals. The wide receiver, who recorded 766 catches, 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns, said that his grandmother was the one who gave him the idea and that it wasn’t hard to get his teammates to help. “It’s a good thing,” he said.

“This is how I was able to collect it all at one time, right? You got team meetings in the morning, right? Everybody.‘Hey y’all, boy, do me a favor, boy.
