The Ex-NFL star recently left a Tampa Bay waitress an unexpected tip. This isn’t the first time he has done this!

When you go out to a restaurant, it’s customary in the US to leave a 20% tip for good service. Well this ex-NFL star went way above the 20%!

Chad Johnson, better known as Ochocinco, was one of the most electrifying NFL wide-receivers of the 21st Century. On the gridiron, he was as entertaining as he was unstoppable. It seems that Ochocinco is leaving his mark off the field as well.

Former NFL player Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson attends as athletes and YouTube stars team for DOOM Videogame Tournament.

After dining at Bahama Breeze in Brandon, Ochocinco left quite a hefty tip. The bill came to $45.95. He left the server a $1000 tip! That’s approximately a 2177% tip! Here’s the proof:

It looks like Ochocinco makes a habit of dropping big tips. “It’s just something I always do, regardless of where I am, regardless of what restaurant or the service, I always take care of those who are serving me,” Johnson explained in June to the NY Post.

Ochocinco might have been #85 on the field but he is #1 in the hearts of servers across the country!
