Published:
Former Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil’s social media accounts have created all kinds of controversy during Thursday’s NFL Draft.
First, his Twitter account was hacked to reveal a video of him smoking a bong while wearing a gas mask.
Next, his Instagram account was hacked to reveal text message conversations between Tunsil and the Ole Miss coaching staff involving an exchange of money.
In a press conference following his selection as the No. 13 overall pick by the Miami Dolphins, Tunsil reportedly admitted to taking money from the Ole Miss coaching staff.
Here are the Tweets from the reporters that were in the room in Chicago:

Was there an exchange of money between you and your coach?
Tunsil: I have to say yeah.

Tunsil just denied an exchange of money between him and his coach. Then, asked again, said it happened. Then interrupted, ushered off stage.
