Ocho Cinco has good hands. Not great hands, but dude has good hands. Watched a lot a games during his time with the Bengals and the only time Chad dropped the ball was when they did not throw it his way for extended periods of time and he was getting open enough for them to throw it...he actually had a legit complaint when he was not getting the ball in Cincy. As far as what became of him in NE, I do not know since I did not watch many Patriot games. Maybe he did lose his focus but he was a good WR with the Bengals. Guy would get killed making catches, and some where very difficult catches which he made.
