Chad Ochocinco's antics on and off the field have demonstrated his love affair with the limelight. From his over the top touchdown celebrations to his VH1 reality show, Chad Ochocinco always has to be the center of attention.

The food that Chad will be bringing to this NFL picnic is the hot dog...because he is one.

Potato Salad

Out of all of the food that we traditionally eat at a Labor Day get-together, the potato salad takes the most preparation. The NFL player that needs the most work to have a successful season is Albert Haynesworth.

So he will be bringing the potato salad.

Gross Jello Concoction

We all know that Jello dish with the little pieces of unidentifiable fruit floating in it. Your weird aunt brings it to the cookout every year, and it just kind of sits at the corner of the table while people pass over it when loading up their plates.

Who will be bringing the weird Jello mixture?

You guessed it! Matt Leinart.



Chips and Dip

When eating potato chips and dip, you really can't have one without the other. The same is true for most quarterbacks and their favorite receiver.

Dallas Clark caught 100 of the 132 passes thrown to him by Peyton Manning. These two are a perfect example of a "chips and dip" team.

Corn On The Cob

No matter where you're having your Labor Day feast, one thing is guaranteed: There will always be corn on the cob.

And who are we guaranteed to see every NFL season?

Brett Favre.

Baked Beans

While some of these players argued over who would bring what dish, when it came to choosing the player who would bring the baked beans, the vote was unanimous:

Chris "Beanie" Wells.

Apple Pie

Apple pie is an American classic, so it is only fitting that a true all-American hero will bring the dessert to this Labor Day cookout.

The player bringing the apple pie should be strong and driven, and he should be someone that most Americans look up to.

Hands down, this player has to be Drew Brees.
