CHAD Ochocinco joined First Take on Thursday and shared his thoughts on whether he would pick NFL tight end George Kittle or Travis Kelce.
Ochocinco, a wide receiver who played in the NFL for 11 seasons, joined Dan Orlovsky, Christine Williamson and Damien Woody on First Take for a discussion about Madden ratings.

It was revealed on Thursday that Travis Kelce is rated 99 in the Madden video game, while Kittle is rated 97.
The two tight ends are the highest rated in the game, which has sparked a debate.
“Do you prefer Kelce or Kittle as your tight end,” Williamson asked Ochocinco.
“Oh my God, that’s a hard one, it’s like asking who do you prefer, Lebron or Jordan?” Ochocinco responded.
Ochocinco then took a break and decided to reveal which tight end he would choose.
“They’re both great at what they do when it comes to catching the ball and can run open, short and intermediate routes,” Ochocinco said.
“If I have to give someone an advantage, I would probably give Kittle an advantage.
“I’m going with Kittle just because of what he brings to me when it comes to the run game and blocking ability.”

NFL fans rushed to X to share their thoughts on Ochocincos’ opinion, with many agreeing and disagreeing.
“Duh. Kittle was always the best TE,” one fan agreed.
“In this case, you pick the guy who won at least A RING. Kelce has several. This is the guy”, argued a second.
“Stupid take,” said a third.
“Absolutely,” agreed a fourth.
“Travis Kelce is the greatest TE in NFL history. As long as he’s still playing, he’ll still be the best,” said a fifth, adding a goat emoji.
