In the article linked below Dabo Swinney explains why Kelly Bryant won't receive a National Championship ring for last years team. Understanding I'm now biased to KB being our guy, I tried to put myself in the shoes of Coach Swinney. Across all sports many players are given rings for the team they started but didn't finish with during a Championship season. On the other hand KB chose to leave Clemson after 4 games instead of finishing what he started. I also think paying Quarterback plays a roll in this, and KB not only played a huge part in 4 of Clemsons victories but was obviously a huge asset to the team for 3 previous seasons. There is no doubt that Trevor Lawrence is an elite talent but pulling KB from his starting roll when he wasn't losing games took a lot of balls by Dabo. In the end you can say it worked out as Clemson came home with the title but I think the right thing to do is award KB a ring for everything he meant to the program.
