Laremy Tunsil’s Twitter account reemerges with potential apology

Laremy Tunsil’s having a bad day.
The former Ole Miss offensive tackle’s Twitter account was hacked moments before the NFL Draft, and a video of Tunsil apparently smoking a bong was posted.
Tunsil quickly deleted the tweet, and ultimately went on to delete his Twitter account altogether in the moments following.
The twitter account “@kingtunsil78” reemerged a few minutes later with the following message:
That tweet has since been deleted.
Given the way things are going tonight, it is possible that Tunsil was not the person that wrote that tweet.
As you may imagine, this tweet’s emergence has severely damaged his draft stock.
The Tennessee Titans, who were considered favorites to selection him when they owned the No. 1 overall pick, traded up to the No. 8 overall selection to take Michigan State OT Jack Conklin with Tunsil still on the board.
Some NFL teams are reportedly taking Tunsil off their board altogether:
Ravens took Tunsil OFF their board after that video, member of organization tells me. OFF.
