Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson showed his appreciation in a big way for one Florida restaurant as the state slowly begins to reopen businesses shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Johnson, 42, tweeted out a picture of his receipt from the recently reopened Havana's Cuban Cuisine in Cooper City on Monday where he left a $1,000 tip on a $37 tab.

“Congrats on re-opening, sorry about the pandemic, hope this helps. I LOVE YOU,” Johnson wrote on the bill.

The former NFL pro, who spent 10 seasons playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, captioned his post on social media “Proverbs 11:25,” which reads: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”
