Watson giving back, serving others

GREENVILLE, S.C. — When you help somebody, you never know exactly whom you could be helping.

Just ask former NFL and Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn.

In 2007, Dunn’s charity, partnering with Habitat for Humanity, furnished a home for an 11-year-old boy and his family.

That 11-year-old boy was Deshaun Watson.

Nine and a half years later, Watson is serving the community and helping to provide a better life for others, just like Dunn did for him.

On Tuesday, during third-ranked Clemson’s bye week, Watson and the entire football team and coaching staff came to Greenville to work in the Grace Point neighborhood, assisting with the construction of two houses at Grace Point, building new fencing along the property line, performing landscaping on six other houses and completing other tasks in the community.
