Tight end Chris Cooley from the Washington Redskins, Running Back Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens and defensive lineman Darnell Dockett from the Arizona Cardinals have all signed on to be part of the Ochocinco reporting team, and plan to ask questions, go to parties, and experience what the players do during the week.
