FOX 28 Savannah attended the camp and asked Lloyd about his time teaching the kids.
“Somebody in the NFL coming out and really offering their time to them, that’s something I want them to do in the future,” Lloyd said. “I hope that’s what they can take from it. Even if it’s their parents telling them down the line, you see somebody in the position I am and as grateful as I am to be in this position, to take time out of their day, to service other kids, hopefully, that’s the lasting impact they leave.”
Lloyd chose to host the camp for military children because he grew up in a military family. Both of his parents served in the Navy.
