Tunsil's contradictory NFL Draft press conference ended with an admission that he accepted money from his coaches while at Ole Miss. But was he just falling back on his PR training in a moment of confusion?
Let me begin this post by saying it is not my intention to dismiss the fact that Laremy Tunsil very clearly told reporters on Thursday night that conversations leaked via his Instagram account were real and that he indeed accepted money from his Ole Miss coaches. It is my personal opinion that he understood the questions and answered honestly.
But it's also clear to anyone who watched that cringeworthy press conference that Tunsil, who was blindsided by a malicious social media hack just minutes before the NFL Draft, was shaken and struggling to maintain a consistent narrative amid the barrage of rapid-fire questions.
