Cincinnati Bengals legend Chad Johnson will be on hand at Paycor Stadium this Monday night when his former team takes on the Buffalo Bills. And the eccentric Johnson intends to enjoy the game in a way that only he could.

Johnson not only plans to sit among the fans in the stands, but he plans on being rowdy.

This won’t be the first time Johnson sits among the fans this season. Back in Week 1 when the Bengals took on the Pittsburgh Steelers, the man formerly known as “OchoCinco” made it a point to hide in plain sight.

With a hat and sunglasses on and towels draped over his head, it took quite some time before fans realized they were sitting among a franchise icon.

Johnson has never been shy about interacting with fans and living life to its fullest. He routinely gives out his gamer tag to engage fans in online competitions and is also renowned as a generous tipper, often signing “I love you” on his receipts. He’s even been known to rent out entire movie theaters, where he and hundreds of fans gather on a whim.

Whoever ends up sitting near Johnson on Monday night is guaranteed to have a good time. They’ll probably end up with free food and memorabilia as well.
