"The moment is captured in the tiny square of Chad Ochocinco's popular Twitter account. His avatar, once only a picture of himself, has been replaced with a photo of Ochocinco grasping Tom Brady's hand with a two-handed shake on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium.

Hours after Ochocinco landed in New England, he strolled onto the field yesterday wearing a long-sleeve shirt and sweatpants with a Patriots logo on the side. The fans who gathered to watch the second day of training camp erupted with applause when they spotted the receiver, who seemed to be in awe of the moment.

He spent the first minutes of the session chatting with Brady and offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien. During the team's walkthrough, Ochocinco observed and chatted with players including Deion Branch. The experience moved Ochocinco enough to log onto his Twitter account after the session, change his avatar, and tweet, "It's 1 thing to jump and be able to land on 2 feet but I had no idea I was landing in Heaven. . . .''

Brady has witnessed his share of trades in his 11 previous seasons at quarterback with the Patriots. So he understands that sometimes these things work, sometimes they don't. But taking into account everything that makes up the career of Ochocinco, who has played 10 seasons, it's worth the risk."
