Carolina Panthers rookie linebacker Ben Boulware loves former Clemson teammate Deshaun Watson.
Boulware included Watson in a group text of ex-Tigers last week and refers to the Houston Texans rookie quarterback as one of his dogs.
And yet if Boulware finds himself with a shot on Watson in Wednesday’s NFL exhibition at Bank of America Stadium, he has no plans to play nice.
“No, not at all. I’ll give him a hug and a kiss after. But I would put everything into that hit,” Boulware said this week.
“That’s three-and-a-half years of waiting to hit somebody, and I’ll put all three years into one hit,” he added.
