Laremy Tunsil dropped in the NFL Draft on Thursday after a video was posted (and deleted) from his Twitter account minutes before the draft began that showed him smoking out of a gas mask bong.
According to reports, Tunsil was hacked and the video was uploaded to his account by someone else. Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole says the video is old.

ESPN’s Suzy Kolber also reported on TV that Tunsil’s people believe the account was hacked. She also says they believe the video may be old, going back to high school (watch the video here).
Tunsil was expected to possibly be the first offensive lineman taken in the draft, but instead Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin were both selected ahead of him.
Tunsil already had many issues surrounding him. From being suspended to start the season with Ole Miss due to NCAA violations, to his lawsuit with his stepfather, and then his involvement in the hotel incident, and now this, NFL teams have a litany of reasons to pass on him early in the draft.
