Swinney: Players decide who wins QB competition

GREENWOOD, S.C. — Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says this year’s quarterback situation between Kelly Bryant, Trevor Lawrence, Hunter Johnson and Chase Brice is no different than the one he had in 2014 between Cole Stoudt, Chad Kelly and Deshaun Watson.

Prior to Monday’s IPTAY Prowl & Growl event at the James Medford Family Event Center in Greenwood, S.C., Swinney said the process is still the same. They have to perform.

“You grade everything,” the football coach said. “Back then, Chad Kelly was there. Deshaun did well, but then he go hurt. He broke his collarbone. Cole was kind of the last man standing there.
