After the Carolina Panthers opted to bench Bryce Young after Week 2, one person who knows the young quarterback well chimed in.

Nick Saban, who coached Young during his time at Alabama, gave his thoughts on the Panthers' decision to bench the 2023 No. 1 overall pick on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, saying that Carolina didn't have a roster that could allow Young to find success early in his career.

"You guys have heard me say before, quarterback is a really hard position to play if the people around you don't play well," Saban said (3:11 mark).
