Bryce Young or the Masked Door Dash Delivery Man?

Former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is roughly a month away from making his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. While the fate of the Carolina Panthers future rests in Young's hands, he recently put his own financial future to rest by signing a nearly $38 million contract.

On Tuesday ahead of practice Young revealed to the Panther's media contingent that he would drive for Door Dash as a freshman in college to earn spending money as name, image and likeness wasn't allowed until the phenom's sophomore year.

Bryce Young was a DoorDash driver his first year in college before NIL

He says he'd wear a mask and hoodie and only accept 'drop it at my door' orders so people wouldn't recognize him 😅

"Ya I was driving for Door Dash and honestly I would have a mask on and a hoodie, and I would only accept the 'drop it at my door' orders so for the most part I never really got recognized," said Young.

Young became one of the most prolific Alabama athletes to take advantage of NIL to date as Nick Saban famously boasted the Californian had made $1 million before taking a snap as a starting quarterback.

However, 2020 was a year of watching, learning and hustling. Young learned by observing Mac Jones lead the Crimson Tide while making the most of every second on and off the field.

If you ordered take out in Tuscaloosa during the pandemic, there's a small chance a future Heisman Trophy winner was dropping off your dinner.
