Laremy Tunsil's draft night will go down in infamy.
Minutes before the draft began, a video was posted to Tunsil's Twitter account. It showed Tunsil in a gas mask smoking something, just before he removed the mask to reveal his face.
The tweet was quickly taken down and Tunsil temporarily deleted his account, but attentive eyes quickly posted it to Twitter and YouTube. Tunsil's agent later told Ian Rapaport of NFL Network that his client's account had been hacked, but that it was his client in the clip. Rapoport also reported that the agent was calling teams to reassure them that they need not worry about his client's behavior.
Tunsil was discussed to be the first pick in the draft as recently as a few weeks ago, prior to trades with the first two picks. It turns out he wasn't even one of the first two offensive linemen selected at the Baltimore Ravens took Notre Dame's Ronnie Stanley at No. 6. The Titans than took Michigan State's Jack Conklin after trading up to the No. 8 selection.
According to NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala, the Ravens saw the video — and it had an effect.

These kids ... and they ARE kids .. will have to learn to opt out of selfies and other photos that can come back to bite them in the arse. Damn fools.
He must of thought he was going to be drafted by Cleveland.
That’s one way to get out of being a brown
Yep. Many are suspecting his step-father is the one that posted it to his account. His step-father is currently suing him. Sounds like a crazy situation.
Obviously there is at least one person out there that he screwed over bad enough to want some payback.
On another NFL draft related subject, I hope nobody from the University of Missouri football team gets drafted because of their black lives matter b.s. and threatening not to play. No team needs that kind of crap in the locker room.
“These kids ... and they ARE kids .. “
I know we call them kids, but they’re not kids.
Crab bucket syndrome.
Yeah. Just brats. Spoiled brats.
Just went to Miami. Bad move, ‘Fins.

It may be someone else but he did beat up his step-father. I read that it took 4-5 men to get him off of him. His step-father is suing him.

Agree. The guy has a lot of talent but I wouldn’t trust him.
Not necessary to blame the player. If he has the skills he’ll go in the order it warrants. Do you think one guy from Missou will pollute the pure sanctity of an NFL locker room? LOL.
It’s being reported that the video is 4-5 years old.
Many will infer it is ongoing. Either way, the timing means he will go lower in the draft and may cost him a few mill in his contract.
He’s lucky the cameras aren’t on the players between picks. Do you remember the embarrassment that Brady Quinn endured as he plummeted down the draft board?
yep. what a dope!! literally!
but at that age, i was doing crazy stuff all the time, just no phones to film it.
Miami picked him up. If he is as talented as they think he is, he’ll do fine.
Stupid has it’s consequences.
And that it's actually Michael Brown in the video.
You owe me a keyboard.
