Swinney a little down when he learned Watson-Hopkins combo was broken up

Dabo Swinney is a little bumped not to see Deshaun Watson throw the football to Deandre Hopkins anymore. The Clemson coach said as much Thursday when he was on ESPN’s “First Take.”

If you recall, Hopkins was traded last month to Arizona by the Houston Texans.

“Just like everyone else, that is a ‘Wow!’ deal when it comes across the ticker,” Swinney said. “I had actually spent a day with Deandre, literally, like a week before it happened. We had a big reunion at Clemson and Deandre was here and had an awesome time visiting with him.
