One of the big stories of the first hour of the draft is about Ole Miss tackle
Laremy Tunsil, a player who hasn’t been picked after a video of him taking a bong hit while wearing a gas mask was posted to his Twitter account just before the draft.
Tunsil’s agent has confirmed that Tunsil is in the video and says that the video was posted to the account by someone other than Tunsil. Tunsil reopened the account, which had been deleted, to post the following apology.
“I
recreated this account to publicly apologize for the recent video posted,” Tunsil wrote. “I promise to work hard on and off the field.”
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media said on the draft broadcast that Tunsil’s agent has been calling teams in an attempt to reassure them about his client. Tackles
Ronnie Stanley and
Jack Conklin are both off the board while Tunsil waits to hear his name called, however.
