Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is giving back just before his sophomore NFL season.Â

Ahead of training camp this month and the first preseason game at the end of July, McConkey hosted a youth football camp at Oceanside High School.

There, McConkey worked with attendees and made a point in an interview to stress giving back to the next generation and how much these types of camps did and would have had an impact on his own development and love for the game.Â
