2016 NFL draft -- Laremy Tunsil admits to taking cash from Ole Miss Rebels coach

Laremy Tunsil, the controversial offensive tackle taken by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 13 draft pick Thursday night, said he took money from a coach while he was a player at Ole Miss.

Tunsil spoke in a news conference after his draft selection in Chicago and an apparent hack of his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

"I'd have to say yeah," Tunsil said when asked by a reporter if he took money from a coach.

A screen grab of a text that was published to @kingtunsil appeared to show a request for money from Ole Miss assistant athletic director John Miller for rent and so Tunsil's mother could pay her electric bill.
