Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco was selected as an alternate Friday on the AFC roster. He replaces injured New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker, who tore his ACL and MCL in his left knee in the Jan. 3 game against the Texans.
Ochocinco reacted to the news by declaring he would take part in a charity sprint.

This is Ochocinco's sixth Pro Bowl appearance. He led the Bengals with 72 receptions for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
