Paying it forward: Former NFL star Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson leaves $1,000 tip


Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson left a $1,000 tip on a bill for less than $25 Wednesday night.

Johnson, known as “Ochocinco,” visited Stephanie’s Restaurant II in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he left the generous tip. He took a photo of the receipt he left for the restaurant worker.

“I once scored six touchdowns in Madden using myself,” Johnson wrote on the receipt, referring to the NFL-based video game. “I love you.”
