Swinney says Watson is dialed in

SUNSET, S.C. — What makes Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson so special?

“He’s dialed in. He’s a guy that’s hungry to be the best,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said following Tuesday’s media golf outing at The Reserve on Lake Keowee. “He’s not satisfied. He’s very critical of himself as far as what he can do to improve. He’s a grinder, he likes to work and he gets it.”
