Laremy Tunsil's Agent Says Leaked Texts Are 'Much Ado About Nothing'

Laremy Tunsil made headlines during the 2016 NFL Draft for all the wrong reasons. Despite the video of Tunsil smoking out of a gas mask, the biggest revelation was his admission that he took money from coaches while at Ole Miss. Now Tunsil’s team is in full damage control mode.

Tunsil’s attorney, Steve Farese, claims the leaked texts were taken out of context.

"“My information is that issue, in and of itself, has already been discussed previously with the NCAA and there was nothing to it. Once the truth comes out about that text, and I hate to make a pun, but the text is taken out of context. And once it is found out what this is all about, it will be much to do about nothing.”"

The problem here is that the leaked texts on Instagram weren’t the end of the issue. Tunsil later admitted to taking money during a press conference. He was also suspended seven games during the 2015 season for receiving impermissible benefits.

While members of Tunsil’s team are trying to talk their way out of this one, I think we all know what was really going on. It will be hard for Ole Miss to wriggle out of this one.
