# Chad Ochocinco Johnson: Discussing Tyreek Hill's release, Ochocinco favored the Chiefs (and mentioned Buffalo) as a landing spot, said Hill would still outperform nearly all NFL receivers if used correctly, and declared Hill a first-ballot Hall of Famer. **Claimed:** Feb 18, 2026 **Pundit:** Chad Ochocinco Johnson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/chad-ochocinco-johnson **Outlet:** Nightcap (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/nightcap-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/nightcap-with-unc-ocho/best-of-nfl-part-2-smear-campaign-on-george-pickens-nfl-owners-scared-of-player-report-cards 2 checkable claims — 1 pro bowl and all-pro call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. > If Tyreek Hill was to never play another down in the NFL, he is a Hall of Famer. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tyreek Hill to move to Kansas City Chiefs** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Tyreek Hill to make First-ballot Hall of Fame** - Kind: Pro Bowl and All-Pro Calls · About: Tyreek Hill - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tyreek Hill — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyreek-hill - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs ## What others said about the same people - Pete Prisco on Kansas City Chiefs: Prisco is the lone expert cited picking Kansas City, 20-17 over Denver. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/bea2711b-1066-488c-9180-75b8af7b8ab8 (scored 57.14) - Mike Florio on Kansas City Chiefs: Florio gives score predictions for every Week 1 game of the 2026 NFL season, including an opening-night upset by the Patriots in Seattle and narrow home wins for the Giants and Chiefs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4b20f46e-ebc0-462f-9e7a-2ab82f91a2ea (scored 57.14) - John Pluym on Kansas City Chiefs: Pluym's Week 1 straight-up picks for all 16 games. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e7e5c159-21f2-4766-92de-857294ef51cf (scored 100) - Matt Verderame on Kansas City Chiefs: Verderame's Week 1 straight-up picks for all 16 games. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e4f51f97-310d-4665-a47e-fdab93ff1fd1 (scored 100) - Mike Kadlick on Kansas City Chiefs: Kadlick's Week 1 straight-up picks for all 16 games. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/934613ff-97e3-4894-a383-faa755bdfc35 (scored 100) - Pete Prisco on Kansas City Chiefs: An unsigned CBS Sports Week 1 picks column predicts final scores for all 16 games, including a Seahawks rout of the Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch and a late Chiefs win over Denver in Patrick Mahomes' return. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/d6f9bde0-aad0-4013-967c-c197b2e9be19 (scored 57.14) ## More pro bowl and all-pro calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Pat Gustavson on Charles Cross: Gustafson picked the Bears, Eagles, Rams, Patriots, Jaguars and Texans in the wild card round, the Rams and Bears in the NFC, the Broncos and Patriots in the AFC, and the Patriots to beat the Bears in the Super Bowl.
