Todd Gurley is surrounded.

He was supposed to leave the field quickly following the conclusion of his first youth football camp at his alma mater, Tarboro High School, in early April. But now, there are dozens of kids and parents all looking for their own special moment with the 2015 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

“Todd, over here!”

“Todd, can you sign this?”

“Todd, can we get a picture?”

It’s an overwhelming scene on this sunny day in Tarboro, North Carolina. But Gurley grants every request with a smile — signing each autograph, indulging in each selfie.
