The former Ole Miss offensive tackle was selected No. 13 overall by the Miami Dolphins during Thursday’s NFL Draft after seeing his draft stock plummet due to a hack of his Twitter account which revealed a video of Tunsil smoking out of a bong while wearing a gas mask.
The tweet and Tunsil’s twitter account were deleted, and Tunsil gave the following interview on live TV:
