Byron Young is a beast.
But just a few years ago, he was working the cash register.
Back in 2018, Young took shifts at Burger King and Dollar General to try to enter the working world.
He even got promoted to assistant manager at Dollar General, and his boss thought Byron had a future in store management.
But football was always his true passion.
One day, he saw a flyer on the store bulletin board.
George Military College was holding open tryouts for its football team.
Young went, made the team, and never looked back.
From there, he transferred to Tennessee - and was then drafted by the Rams in the 3rd round of the 2023 draft.
This year, he's racked up 7.5 sacks through 6 weeks - good for 2nd in the NFL. And he looks like one of the best young players in the league.
Not too bad for a former Dollar General employee.
