From the start Swinney, Watson have always had special relationship

Before he boarded a plane to head to Philadelphia, Pa., joining Deshaun Watson to kickoff today’s 2017 NFL Draft, Dabo Swinney sent Watson a picture that shows him celebrating a state championship with his teammates at Gainesville High School in Georgia, as well as a national championship with his teammates at Clemson.

Then Swinney added a message at the bottom which reads, “Soon to be you are going to have another championship team to add to this picture.”

“I’m just excited to see where he is going,” the Clemson head coach said.

Watson, arguably the greatest player to have ever put on a Clemson uniform, should find out soon enough as he is expected by many draft experts to be selected in the first-round.
