Former Alabama DL Byron Young unveils new number for Raiders

Alabama football had a fearsome defensive lineman to wear No. 93 in college and the NFL.

Jonathan Allen had people scared to death, but another Crimson Tide player is wearing the number. Byron Young, a native Mississippian, got selected in the third round of the NFL Draft. He was taken by the Las Vegas Raiders at No. 70 overall.

The 6-foot-3, 292-pounder had 48 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, six quarterback hurries, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 2022. Young assisted the Tide to an Allstate Sugar Bowl victory.

He unveiled wearing No. 93 for the Raiders on his Instagram.
