Houston Texans' Laremy Tunsil mints draft-night gas mask video into NFT, will donate portion of proceeds to charity

HOUSTON -- The day before the 2022 NFL draft begins, Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil tweeted that he's moving past his draft night incident by minting a non-fungible token (NFT) of his "infamous gas mask video."

Just before the start of the draft in 2016, a video of him smoking marijuana out of a gas mask was posted on his Twitter account. Tunsil, who was projected as the draft's top offensive tackle, slid down the draft board and was eventually drafted by the Miami Dolphins with the 13th pick.

Tunsil later told then NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders that his Twitter account was hacked.
