NFL Draft: Unforgettable night for former Rebels

Ole Miss set a school record tonight with three first round picks selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft in Laremy Tunsil, Laquon Treadwell and Robert Nkemdiche.

Despite the countless mock drafts and endless speculation by the NFL’s experts, no one could have predicted what would happen to Tunsil in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Tunsil’s Twitter and Instagram accounts were reportedly hacked. A video of him smoking a possibly illegal substance out of a gas mask was posted onto his Twitter just minutes before the draft began. It was clear the video affected his draft stock, as the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans and New York Giants all passed on him despite all having a need at offensive tackle.
