NFL Notes: Laremy Tunsil Signs Ahead of Dolphins Minicamp

DAVIE, Fla. - Laremy Tunsil and the Miami Dolphins were quick to agree on his value in the wake of his NFL draft freefall.

The offensive lineman from Ole Miss signed his rookie contract before joining the Dolphins' rookie minicamp which began Friday. Terms weren't disclosed.

Touted at one time as a potential No. 1 overall choice, Tunsil was taken 13th last week after a video was posted on his Twitter account shortly before the NFL draft showing him smoking from a gas mask connected to a bong.

Another post on his Instagram showed an alleged text exchange with an Ole Miss football staff member that included Tunsil's request for money. The school is investigating.

Tunsil said his social media accounts were hacked, likely costing him millions of dollars. Last year's 13th draft pick, offensive lineman Andrus Peat, signed an $11.4 million, four-year deal with the Saints.

The Dolphins conducted months of research into Tunsil and said they're comfortable about his character.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - The Minnesota Vikings have signed six draft picks, leaving only one player in the class without a contract.
