FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Chad Ochocinco has found a new NFL home. He’s still looking for a place to stay.

The veteran wide receiver Tuesday said he still has a lot of work to do, but is starting to feel comfortable with his new teammates in the New England Patriots’ offense.

He gave fellow receivers Wes Welker and Deion Branch and quarterback Tom Brady credit for his progress. “I’ve been able to assume a lot of information in a short period of time,” he said, while adding “there’s still a lot of work to do.”

His play during training camp has been inconsistent — a sensational catch followed by a drop – but he has had to get used to Brady and a new system without the benefit of offseason workouts.

Off the field, he still hasn’t found a home in the Foxborough area, but is toying with a novel way of getting to know the area.

“I’m going to do something different, I’m actually going to stay with a fan for the first two, three weeks of the season,” he said. “That should be fun, until I get myself acclimated and learn my way around.”
