Bryce Young Shares Surprising Job He Had at Alabama Before NIL

The former Tide quarterback had an interesting way of making some extra cash early in his collegiate career.

Bryce Young may have been the big man on campus in his time at Alabama. But that didn’t mean he didn’t spend some of his free time earning a little extra cash.

While speaking with media on Tuesday, Young, the Panthers’ No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, said that prior to the arrival of rules allowing for players to profit off their name, image and likeness, he held down a job as a food delivery driver in order to make extra money.

In fact, he would often attempt to hide his identity while delivering food for DoorDash.

"I would have a mask on and wear a hoodie,” said Young. “I would only really accept the 'drop it at my door' orders, so for the most part I didn't really get recognized or anything. You know, this was before NIL, so you know, I wanted to have a little extra money. I feel like a lot of people have done it."

Following his comments, DoorDash shared a response of their own acknowledging Young’s “grind” before he hit his big payday.

After recently signing his rookie contract—a four-year, fully-guaranteed $37.95 million deal—it’s safe to say Young will not be taking his delivery-driving talents to Charlotte.
