After gas mask tweet, Tunsil slides to Miami at 13

12:27 AM ET

A video posted to NFL prospect Laremy Tunsil’s verified Twitter account Thursday night showed the former Ole Miss offensive tackle wearing a gas mask and smoking a substance through a plastic tube. The tweet was deleted minutes after posting.

Tunsil, one of the highest rated prospects in the draft who at one point was considered a likely No. 1 overall pick, was picked No. 13 overall by the Miami Dolphins. Tunsil confirmed to ESPN’s Suzy Kolber that he was in the video, adding he was “blessed” to be picked by the Dolphins.

Agent Jimmy Sexton earlier told ESPN: “It is B.S. Somebody hacked into his account.” Tunsil said “we’re trying to find out” who hacked it. He said at a news conference later Thursday that he doesn’t plan to press charges if he does discover who is responsible for the hack.

There appeared to be another hack after he was chosen, with an image going up on his Instagram account showing a text message conversation, allegedly between Ole Miss assistant athletic director John Miller and Tunsil, about paying Tunsil’s mother’s rent and electric bills. His Instagram account has since been deleted.

Tunsil told ESPN Radio on Thursday night that he did not know anything about the Instagram material and that he has no control over his social media accounts.

In a news conference at the NFL draft in Chicago, Tunsil admitted to reporters he took money while at Ole Miss.

“I made a mistake. That happened,” he said.

When reporters asked Tunsil if he meant he had taken money from a coach, he said, “I’d have to say yeah.”

One of Sexton’s assistants abruptly stopped the news conference and escorted Tunsil out of the room after reporters asked him if he’d met with NCAA investigators.
