Chad Ochocinco will be reportedly back in Cincinnati to work out with teammates before heading to the NFL Draft for OCNN with his newest employee, Darrelle Revis. Speaking of which, we received this release regarding Revis' newest job:

Chad Ochocinco’s Ochocinco News Network (OCNN), powered by MOTOBLUR, today announced the hiring of his on-field nemesis New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis to be his off-field teammate for the OCNN news team. Revis, considered to be the best one-on-one coverage man in the NFL, will test out his “coverage” skills as he teams up with OCNN reporter and top-five draft prospect Gerald McCoy to give fans an insider look at this week’s NFL Draft.
