CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Almost as though it was scripted, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Hunter Renfrow on Monday made a diving catch of a ball thrown slightly behind him about 20 feet from where Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was standing.
It was Swinney, Hunter's college coach, who talked the 2019 fifth-round pick by the Las Vegas Raiders and 2021 Pro Bowl selection out of giving up football while he sat out the 2024 season battling the autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis.
It was Swinney who'd just said Renfrow (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) looked like a normal person in street clothes but "turned into Superman'' once he put his helmet on.
