Former Clemson linebacker J.D. Davis, son of Clemson legend Jeff Davis, reflects on the impact of the PAW Journey on his life and the lives of many other Clemson football players.
When Jeff Davis worked in the football office under Tommy Bowden while also doubling as a fundraiser for IPTAY, he could only dream of what has unfolded as PAW Journey has become a pioneer in preparing athletes for life after football. One of Swinney's first decisions upon getting the head-coaching job was putting Jeff Davis in full charge of preparing his players for the real world.
J.D. recalls the day in 2003 when he first met Swinney. The Swinney family was building a house next door to the Davises, and in walked Will and Drew Swinney. "We've been best friends ever since," J.D. says.
J.D., who closed his football career by helping Clemson win the 2018 national championship, now works for Adobe. An internship with Adobe while he was at Clemson was vital in his securing of a full-time job with the multinational computer software company.
