Laremy Tunsil’s draft stock was crushed by a video that was released on his Twitter account moments before the NFL Draft began on Thursday night.

He dropped from a consensus Top 5 selection all the way to No. 13 when the Miami Dolphins decided to take a chance on him.

 

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze and former Rebels QBs Bo Wallace and Ryan Buchanan were among those that came to his aid.

Freeze gave a television interview to ESPN’s Suzy Kolber, during which he said Tunsil was handling the adversity well and that it could turn out to be a blessing in the long run if he emerges from it a better man.

Among his comments were as follows:

“I assure that’s not who he is.”

“Laremy can’t wait to get his opportunity. He’ll make the most of it.”

“I do believe it was a long time ago.”
“He owned it, but certainly wasn’t recent.”
