A reality TV star was on the scene as the Chargers kicked off training camp.
Pepe Garcia, who recently starred in the seventh season of the dating reality show hit 'Love Island USA', joined the Bolts in El Segundo Thursday.
As he continues to make the rounds following the season finale of the show and his return from the island villa, the Love Island finalist spent the day at The Bolt.
Garcia told Chargers.com he jumped at the opportunity to join the team at camp as the Los Angeles native got his first in-person look at an NFL training camp.
"The Chargers reached out to me and I'm a big fan of them," Garcia said. "I was watching them last year and I was like, 'You know what, why not?' I would love to come meet the guys, see what goes down and see what training camp is all about."
He later added: "This is definitely a first, hopefully not a last. Glad it was back home in L.A. with the Chargers."
And in Garcia's first visit to an NFL training camp, he got to have a full experience.
He was taken on a tour of The Bolt, as well as got a up close view of the Chargers as they began training camp practices.
Following the practice, he also got a chance to get on the field talk to some of the players, who were very familiar and amped to meet him.
The show was by far the most talked and popular this summer and the seemingly was true among members of the Bolts as well, who came up to introduce themselves and wanted to take pictures with him — much to Garcia's surprise.
"That will be the weirdest experience in the world," Garcia said with a laugh. "They're over here saying they're shocked and nervous to meet me, but I was like, 'I'm nervous to meet you guys.'
"It's just like that circle of what's going on," Garcia added. "They've been watching me on TV, but I've been watching them on TV before [,too]. It was a crazy experience."
Garcia was also popular among the Chargers fans in attendance, as he spent some time interacting and taking pictures with them as well.
It was all a feeling he said he would never forget, as his visit to El Segundo was a memorable one.
"It's a surreal feeling to come home and have so many people know who you are and know about you and just want to be around you and want to take pictures with you," Garcia said.
"It's a surreal feeling but you feel warm and full of love," he added. "It's a great feeling."
