Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 23:20 · Archive

Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Todd Gurley flew aboard Air Force One with President Trump to a campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia.

Former NFL All-Pro running back Todd Gurley travelled with President Trump aboard Air Force One on Friday to a campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia ahead of the midterm elections. Gurley, 32, is a revered figure in Georgia after starring for the Bulldogs between 2012 and 2014, accumulating 3,285 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns before being drafted 10th overall by the Los Angeles Rams in 2015.

Gurley went on to become a three-time Pro Bowler and won NFL Offensive Player of the Year honours in 2017. He later played for the Atlanta Falcons before concluding his career in 2020.

Trump has enlisted other prominent Georgia football figures for his campaign. Current Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton appeared at a Trump rally in Rome in February, where the president gave him a shout-out. Herschel Walker, a legendary Georgia running back, also aligned with Trump, though his unsuccessful 2022 Senate campaign against Democrat Raphael Warnock ended in defeat. Trump subsequently appointed Walker as U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas.
