Chad “Ochotino” Johnson missed just 10 games during his illustrious 11-year career, but now he's letting his secrets out.
The six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver revealed the strange way he keeps his ankles healthy on the “7:00 PM Brooklyn” podcast.
Johnson would soak his ankles in the warm urine of his teammates.

The podcast featured a video of Johnson discussing treatments from a 2016 podcast.
“You know what I did with my sprained ankle?” the former wide receiver said at the time. “I would collect warm urine from my teammates, warm it up, and put my ankle in it for 30 minutes.”
“Yes, it worked,” he said. I just remembered the podcast this week.
Johnson soaked his ankles for 30 minutes.
“There's a reason I didn't get hurt. It's home remedies,” he said, admitting there was no “science” behind it. I sit here as living proof. ”

Johnson said he learned about the secret sauce from his grandmother, and apparently it was very easy to convince his teammates to help.
“That's good. That's how we managed to get them all together at once, right? We have a team meeting in the morning, right? Guys. My ankle is a little weird, so I asked everyone to drink water at once.” I'd like to have it, but after the meeting, if everyone has to pee, they go to the bathroom in a bucket. Boom, they're all peeing in that bucket for me.”
