Looking ahead to NFL Combine

Laremy Tunsil’s seven-game NCAA suspension will seem like light years ago on draft day in Chicago.

While his teammate, Robert Nkemdiche, faces questions of character in looming NFL interviews, the NFL cares not that Tunsil’s loaner car issues put him cross-ways with the NCAA. Here’s the profile.

What the NFL cares about is what happened after that suspension, how Tunsil took the field in the eighth week of the season with no previous game action and dominated a talent like Texas A&M end Myles Garrett.

They care about Tunsil’s athleticism and footwork. The NCAA issue would be of greater concern if it was one of many layers, but it wasn’t.
