Todd Gurley was busy this weekend, but not with training for the upcoming season. Instead, he spent his time giving back to the community, specifically where he grew up. He returned home to Tarboro, N.C., where he hosted his third-annual youth football camp.
He was seen moving around just fine on his injured knee, which has been a huge talking point throughout the offseason. Gurley went through drills with the young athletes and gave them tips on the field, which is an awesome experience for any kid.
“I was out here today and one of the kids came up and said, ‘Thank you so much for doing that,’” Gurley said, via the Rocky Mountain Telegram. “And I started smiling and feeling good. It’s just super dope to hear little stuff like that. And that’s the least I could do, man.
“Money, that’s nothing. But nothing is more important than being able to actually show your face, come back, and spend actual time with people. I’m just doing stuff from the heart, and hopefully it will make some people happy.”
In addition to hosting his annual football camp, Gurley also treated a dozen kids to a shopping trip at Dick’s Sporting Goods. They got to design custom cleats with Gurley and each also received a $100 gift card.
Gurley reflected on the opportunity to give back to the community in the video below.
