Former NFL Star Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson Appears to Save Twitter User from Eviction

Former NFL star Chad "Ochocino" Johnson made one Twitter fan's day on Friday when he appeared to help save the man from eviction.

Ochocino asked a simple question to his Twitter followers on Friday afternoon: "How is everyone's Friday going so far?"

The retired Pro Bowler received a reply from Chris Olivas, of San Marcos, Texas.

After the man showed Ochocinco proof of his pending eviction and the $1,318 he had failed to pay in rent, Johnson sent him more than $1,500 via PayPal–more than enough to cover his rent $950 for the month. Johnson told another Twitter user that he works two jobs to pay his rent.
