A team, not an individual
Young more often used words such as “we” and “us” instead of “I.”
Look no further than his answer to a question about the disparity in NIL deals in the locker room. In that 150word answer, he used “we” nine times, “us” six times and “our” three times. He used “I” only twice to note what “I think.”
“There’s always been distractions,” Young said. “There will always be distractions. That’s something that (Nick) Saban’s talked about and instilled in us for a long time. For us, we all know that whatever happens externally for any person doesn’t really have anything to do with our goal and what we’re working towards.”
What the starting quarterback can make in NIL deals will exceed most teammates. But Young handled this question about as well as he could. The use of group words might seem like a minor thing, but it sets the tone that Young wants his teammates to know he sees himself on the same level as them.
