Now five years removed from his last NFL game, Chad Johnson is looking to catch on with the staff of a former coach.

The longtime receiver, who sent a tweet to the Cleveland Browns asking for a job earlier this offseason, was again mulling the possibility of reaching out to Hue Jackson on Monday.

Johnson has always spoken highly of the newly hired Browns head coach, who worked with "Ochocinco" and the rest of the Cincinnati Bengals receivers from 2004-2006.

When the tweets sparked a discussion about whether he'd be a good fit with the new staff in Cleveland, Johnson followed up with his qualifications.

Johnson played 10 seasons in Cincinnati before moving on to join the New England Patriots for one year in 2011. His career eventually came to an end with an impressive 766 receptions for 11,059 and 67 touchdowns across 166 games.
