Lloyd Leroy Folkins (born July 4, 1939) is a former professional American football tight end in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football at the University of Washington.
Folkins attended Roosevelt High School before accepting a scholarship from the University of Washington.
He started as a sophomore playing both offense and defense, standing out as an offensive end, where he eventually formed a massive duo with John Meyers, with both standing 6–5 and over 200 pounds each.
In 1959, he helped the Huskies reach the 1960 Rose Bowl, winning it for the first time in school history, with a 44-8 upset against the University of Wisconsin.
In 1960, he was a preseason All-American candidate and again helped the Huskies reach the 1961 Rose Bowl, which they won 17-7 against the University of Minnesota.
Folkins was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round (82nd overall) of the 1961 NFL Draft. He was converted to play tight end and was a reserve behind Ron Kramer. He was part of the Packers 1961 World NFL Championship Team, but spent most of his time playing special teams.
