Dolphins pick Laremy Tunsil admits to taking money from Ole Miss coaches

CHICAGO — Former Ole Miss left tackle Laremy Tunsil was the talk of the draft Thursday after he said his Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked with disparaging posts.

First, just before the draft began, a since-deleted tweet appeared on Tunsil's verified account with a video showing him smoking through a gas mask bong. Then, shortly after, an Instagram post claimed he had received money from Ole Miss coaches, raising significant NCAA red flags.

The Miami Dolphins took a gamble on Tunsil anyway with the 13th overall pick, but Tunsil dropped a bombshell during his press conference shortly after getting selected.
