CHAD "OchoCinco" JOHNSON ROUTE RUNNING Breakdown - NFL Hall of Fame Receiver -

They don't pay me for my hands, they pay me for my feet- Ochocinco

Breathe brotha breathe 😂😂

Best route runner ever in the NFL and a very very underrated receiver

Please never stop doing what you’re doing . When I make it I’m shouting you out

He's better than all the 2022 HoF semi finalists at WR! For some reason the HoF is voted on by people who don't play football, and they don't like that he had fun and celebrated when it wasn't legal. Bc he was a great teammate by all accounts and worked crazy hard. Sleeping at the stadium for 2 years, taking reps with the scout team to go against the ones, etc.

As a Bronco fan, I remember watching 85 torch Champ Bailey. I was shocked caus he is the best corner ever IMO, an never seen him get beat that much.

That was a great breakdown to a great receiver I love it

Imagine if he had played in Pittsburgh instead of Cincinnati. First 2000 yard season. And the second and the third. He was as uncoverable as AB but had more height and breakaway speed. Wasted in Cinci.

really great work, glad I found this

Terry McLaurin was a polished route runner coming out of Ohio St.. Last year he saw every teams #1 corner and absolutely dominated as a rookie. His first step & precision cuts allow him to use his elite 4.3 speed in the most efficient way possible. His contested catch rate is also off the charts. Love this video, playing WR is far more about what you do before the ball is thrown. All too many times we get lost in size and speed at receiver, that couldn’t be farther from the truth!

i appreciate all your videos 😂 they give me ideas right before the game .

im coming back to this video and i just realised you said ocho cinco is a hall of fame receiver. i completely agree and i don't know why anyone would say otherwise. I hope he gets in it but people like to hate.

This was a very dope breakdown! 💯💯🎯🎯

I've been looking for Chad Johnson film

9:53 if ochocinco even miss times that cut by a second too late hes running into the DB. And if he cuts too early hes not going to allow time for the DB to react to the post and his cut would have been pointless. Timing is everything

I adore this video!! I've been praising Ocho's route running skills for years! I watched him all throughout highschool.. All my classmates would go back to school and talk about his celebrations. I would go back to school and talk about the routes he ran on Sunday. He's my 2nd favorite WR of all time, and in my opinion the greatest route runner of all time... Thanks for this video man

Chad genius of set up , and he baits DB to try get him to try jam ; that put out position to run or run with cut . Watch him turn his eyes , NOT snapping his head ( would blur vision ) impede ability to track the spin / trajectory of the 🏈

Great video with lots of insight

Love your videos

Hey like the video. Literally before this just got done watching Ocho vs Bailey, Revis, Hall, and Flowers. One of the beat receivers of all time and a really good route runner but don’t think you can call him a great one. Was literally just having this discussion at work the other day. First off his route running is predicated on speed which if you go watch all those matchups that I just said and even this video you can clearly see that. The last two routes, the corner and the out route, which is what they were, were the best routes. Wasn’t a post corner and definitely not a comeback route, it’s just the way he stemmed and set up. But when you watch him run routes his set ups, stemming, and moves aren’t predominantly like those. His main objective when running routes are to do them as fast/quick as possible, because he was fast. Even the out route seemed he was going more so go speed on it, just a great release. His feet and release are probably top 2 but the route running itself isn’t defined enough or exaggerated enough more about him getting a great release and being speedy to beat you to the points verses new school receivers were route running is the main thing like Odell, Jarvis, Keenan Allen, Julio, AB, Diggs, Emanuel sanders, etc. the separation they’re getting is mostly from the route running itself and not the speed of which they do it or the release even though it’s all tied into route running. Even Devonte Adams when you look at his routes he’s open 90% of the time off of his releases. Hopefully that’s another way of looking at it.
