DAVIE, Fla. -- Laremy Tunsil's draft night would best be described as bizarre. Then Friday afternoon brought more from the theatre of the absurd.
When the time came for his introductory press conference, Tunsil was a no-show. Team officials said he suffered an allergic reaction. Eyebrows raised. To what? Nobody could say.
Coach Adam Gase, team vice president Mike Tannenbaum and general manager Chris Grier were left to answer questions about Tunsil and the preceding 24 hours, which featured social media in a starring role. A video showing Tunsil taking a bong hit while wearing a gas mask, and then a screen grab showing Tunsil asking Ole Miss coaches for money to help pay rent had to be explained away.
