Laremy Tunsil, the 6’5” 315 pound massive left tackle from Ole Miss, was a lock to be drafted within the top 5 picks of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Behind quarterback, offensive left tackle is arguably the most prized position in the NFL, and many experts had Tunsil as the best left tackle available in the draft. NFL teams are willing to pay big money to protect their quarterback and they saw Tunsil as that protection.

April 28th, 2016 started like any other draft day with rumors flying across the airwaves about potential trades and Mel Kiper giving you insight into his seventeenth mock draft. For Laremy Tunsil, this day was anything but ordinary.

That morning, a video surfaced of Laremy smoking marijuana in a gas mask bong full of smoke. The NFL isn’t too concerned with addictive painkillers, but the second a player is caught smoking weed during their freshman year of college, teams will back off amid thoughts of character concerns.

Somehow NFL teams spend millions every year on scouting reports and haven’t found out that smoking marijuana has no correlation with the level of play on the field. Laremy fell to the Miami Dolphins with the #13th pick in the draft. NFL rookie salaries are mostly pre-determined so his fall from a top 5 pick to the #13 pick cost him roughly $8 million over the first four years of his career.

To add even more drama, his Instagram was hacked leading to leaked photos of a text message exchange between Tunsil and Ole Miss' Assistant A.D. of Football Operations. The text messages show Tunsil asking for money to help his mom pay her bills. Receiving money from the school is a very clear cut violation of NCAA rules.

His career began with a nightmare draft day, but now that he’s made some money, let’s see how he spent his first million dollars after his extension. Thanks GQ Sports for another excellent episode.
