Chad Johnson was straight fire during a lecture at the University of Florida Thursday morning — blazing up a cigar in the middle of class … despite the fact it’s a non-smoking campus!!
The ex-NFL star was the guest speaker at a sports media class on the UF campus — and cracked jokes about all sorts of stuff … including his ever-changing last name.
But Chad got the most laughs when he pulled out his stogie — and actually began to smoke it during the class!!!
FYI, UF has touted itself as a tobacco-free campus since 2010 … but if you think a little rule is gonna stop Ochocinco … child, please.
