CLEMSON – Head coach Dabo Swinney is busy with the end of Clemson’s spring practice but that doesn’t mean he has time for an embattled former player, and he revealed Wednesday that he’s had recent conversations with quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Watson, who played at Clemson from 2014-to 2016, was traded on March 18 from the Houston Texans to the Cleveland Browns and given a $230 million contract. After having a productive rookie season cut short by injury, Watson guided the Texans to consecutive division titles in 2018 and 2019 and led the league in passing yards in 2020.
