Swinney believes in Deshaun Watson

When Dabo Swinney first saw Deshaun Watson’s name associated with a sexual misconduct lawsuit in Houston, he was disappointed.

“It hurts. When it is somebody you know, and we all read things about people all the time, but when it is someone you have a personal relationship with and love and respect, it hurts,” the Clemson head coach said earlier this week on the Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin Show on ESPN Radio. “So, it is very disappointing to see his name in the paper and all of that stuff.”

Watson has been accused by 22 different women for sexual misconduct during massage sessions.
