Chad Johnson Signs Contract With Amateur Soccer Team Boca Raton FC

Chad Johnson may be a good few years removed from playing NFL football, but his not done with a life of wearing cleats quite yet.

No, the man formerly known as Ochocinco is lacing them up once again. But he's not joining the AAF or the XFL-- he's joining up with amateur soccer club Boca Raton FC.

Johnson, a South Florida native and noted soccer enthusiast, is keeping things local and giving this humble team, which competes in the fifth-tier United Premier Soccer League, the kind of thrill they're not so used to.
