College football coaches are always scrambling to find inspirational guest speakers to help get players focused before the season starts, and Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney had a good one on Tuesday.

Former Baylor basketball star Isaiah Austin, once considered a first round pick in the NBA Draft before being diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, stopped by to talk to the Tigers. Austin knows as well as anyone that the game can be taken away at the drop of a dime, and he likely explained his journey in detail.
