Pats receiver asks 'Ocho' for advice

Apparently LaQuan Williams didn’t follow the 2011 Patriots very closely.

And who can blame him? The former Maryland Terrapin had his own rookie season with the Ravens to worry about.

The third-year wide receiver recently signed with New England after being released by Baltimore after the Ravens' Week 1 loss to Denver.

Williams asked Chad Johnson via Twitter if he had any tips for learning the offensive playbook quickly. Johnson famously couldn’t learn the complex system, which resulted in then-Ochocinco catching just 15 passes for 276 yards and one touchdown.

Check out Williams’ tweets, which have since been deleted.

@ochocinco any tips on how to pick up on this NE playbook quick? — LaQuan Williams (@i_amQUAN) November 07, 2013

No joke at all. Any advice would be a step in the right direction. — LaQuan Williams (@i_amQUAN) November 7, 2013

Predictably, Twitter was amused.

@i_amQUAN @WEEI @ochocinco dang! He ain't going to be any help. He never got it. I suggest you reach out to Edelman or Gronk
