Deshaun Watson likely entering final season at Clemson, Dabo Swinney says

Clemson will enter the 2016 season as a national-title favorite with quarterback Deshaun Watson, who will give it one more shot in a Tigers uniform.

"I really want to challenge the crowd and fans to show up," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said (via ESPN.com), referring to Clemson’s April 9 spring game. "It's going to be the last time to see Deshaun Watson, most likely, in a spring game."
