One member of the Crimson Tide who is constantly under the microscope is quarterback Bryce Young who discussed some of the pressures athletes face at the college level.
“I feel like a lot of times athletes can be put on this pedestal, and as athletes, we can internalize that,” Young said to NBC’s Stephanie Gosk.
