Doug Lloyd

Doug Lloyd (born August 31, 1965) is an American former college and professional football running back in the National Football League (NFL).

Lloyd attended Beaver Dam High School in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and played college football for the North Dakota State Bison football team. In 1988, Lloyd tallied 1,010 rushing yards during the regular season, 1,377 yards including playoff games. He and Chris Simdorn became the first pair of backs to gain more than 1,000 yards each in a season for North Dakota State. He helped lead the undefeated 1988 North Dakota State Bison football team to the Division II national championship, rushing for 115 yards in the team's semifinal win over Sacramento State and 62 yards in the national championship game. At the end of his collegiate career, Mel Kiper Jr. wrote in The Sporting News, "The steady play of Doug Lloyd helped North Dakota State win the NCAA Division II national championship. He is a physically talented 6-1, 217-pounder with sub-4.5 speed and a hard-charging, straight-ahead running style."

He was selected by the Los Angeles Raiders in the sixth round of the 1989 NFL draft. In the 1990 NFL season, he played in all four preseason games for the Raiders before being cut. During the 1991 NFL season, he played in one regular season NFL game for the Raiders, which ended up being his only appearance in the NFL game for his career.
