Tunsil speaks to media, declines to talk about past

5:26 PM ET

A little over an hour after he was a no-show at his introductory news conference with the Miami Dolphins, first-round pick Laremy Tunsil spoke to reporters after all.

Tunsil’s earlier absence was due to an allergic reaction, according to Dolphins vice president Mike Tannenbaum and head coach Adam Gase. Tunsil appeared healthy speaking to reporters a short time later.

When asked if it was something he ate, Tunsil said, “Probably.”

Tunsil refused to elaborate on transgressions made at Ole Miss, saying multiple times that he was “here to talk about the Miami Dolphins.”

“Just know that they got a good guy that puts everything on the line for the team,” Tunsil said of joining the Dolphins. “It’s been good. I’ve been drafted. I’m happy.”

He also emphasized that he has “no character issues at all.”
