Johnson Out, Ocho Cinco In On Chad's Uniform
CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Cincinnati Bengals say No. 85 is officially Ocho Cinco.
The NFL decided it's all right to refer to the receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson by his new legal name, Chad Ocho Cinco. The league will allow the new name on the back of Chad's jersey for Sunday's season opener at Baltimore.
Johnson is a Florida resident and went to court in Broward County to legally change his name.
He had started referring to himself as "ocho cinco" in 2006 as part of the NFL's Hispanic Heritage month. It means "eight five" in Spanish.
