Dabo Swinney said Friday he’s kept in touch with former quarterback Deshaun Watson “quite a bit” amid accusations of sexual misconduct and his ongoing NFL disciplinary process.
The Clemson Tigers head coach, who coached Watson in college, was asked about the Cleveland Browns’ six-game suspension.
“I’ve communicated with Deshaun over the last year or so quite a bit,” Swinney said Sunday. “He’s kind of at the back end of it. He’s been through all the legal stuff and now he’s kind of dealing with the last part of it. Not quite finality of it, but eventually it will be and he’ll move forward.”
Watson is facing a six-game suspension after former federal judge Sue L. Robinson concluded he violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy after accusations of sexual misconduct.
