Former Ole Miss defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche had some head-turning news for the media at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Friday.
Nkemdiche revealed that his former teammate offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, who’s widely expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, was with him during the night he fell from the 4th story of an Atlanta hotel.
Nkemdiche suffered multiple cuts and abrasions.

#OleMiss DL Robert Nkemdiche asked if he was under the influence at the time of his fall. "Yes, I was drinking." Not on drugs.

Nkemdiche also had some head-scratching news that also doesn’t help his draft stock any.
Yep, said he was lazy on some plays. This is going to be a difficult one for NFL teams. Talent is obvious. https://t.co/pkR3u5aDps
