Too Much? Dad Of 8 Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson Says He Scoped Women’s Ankles Out Before Having Kids To Ensure Their Children Would Be Elite Athletes In Resurfaced Clip

Did Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson do too much when choosing who he would have kids with?

#ChadJohnson kept it all the way real about how he picked the mothers of his kids — and it had nothing to do with looks. The former NFL star, who reportedly has eight children with multiple women ranging from their late 20s to toddler age, revealed on The Pivot Podcast back in 2022 that he was basically running his own “combine” when dating. He also echoed similar sentiments in a later convo with Shannon Sharpe.

According to Ocho, he was laser-focused on building a roster of future athletes, quizzing women about their sports background and even checking their ankles to judge footwork before getting serious. He said some women had no clue they were being evaluated, recalling dates at Dave & Buster’s, gym runs, and one-on-one basketball games — all part of his master plan to “procreate with someone athletic.” His bottom line? If the ankles weren’t right, neither was the future.
