Chad Ochocinco lucked up, because Aaron Hernandez handed over his number 85, FOR FREE!

Ocho, was willing to fork over some bucks for the number, but Hernandez did him a favor as a “welcome to the team” gesture. Hernandez told reporters, “Chad Ochocinco came to the team and he’s a great player and I had a chance to get my college number back and he obviously wanted 85, and it wasn’t a problem.”

Ochocinco joked that he would let Hernandez drive his Toyota Prius on weekends … and might toss a few McDonald’s coupons in.
