Laremy Tunsil gets into scuffle at practice, is said to be holding his own (Video)
Miami Dolphins first-round pick Laremy Tunsil wasted no time getting into it with a teammate at his first ever NFL training camp.
During drills on Monday, Tunsil got into a fairly animated shoving match with defensive end Chris McCain. Here’s a video from the scuffle:

If you remember, Tunsil was projected to go very early in the first round of the NFL Draft but slipped to No. 13 because of some character concerns. According to one report, the offensive lineman has been getting first-team reps in camp and making the most of them.
Laremy Tunsil has gotten some 1st-team reps & 'really held his own' at guard for the Dolphins, per @JeffDarlington on @nflnetwork.

Tunsil could wind up being the steal of the draft if he keeps his head on straight. The video that was leaked of him wearing a gas mask bong was a concern for many NFL teams, but the Dolphins were willing to take the risk. If he ends winning a starting job in his first year, that will be a good sign.
