Laremy Tunsil Offers Advice to 2017 Draftees
Tunsil has a wealth of knowledge for this year’s draft class, and has given theocho.ca the exclusive scoop.
There was a time in 2016 when Laremy Tunsil, offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins, was a lock for the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Minutes before the draft began, Tunsil suffered one of the most bizarre draft board plummets in recent history after a video of him smoking a gas mask bong was posted on his verified Twitter account.
“It wasn’t me that posted it,” said Tunsil when asked about the video. “But thank God for whoever did. Think of all the crappy teams I would’ve played for if I was taken in the top 10. Do I still play on a crappy team? Yeah I do. I’m also a short drive away from the happiest place on earth — I mean who’s laughing now?”
Tunsil has a wealth of knowledge for this year’s draft class, and has given theocho.ca the exclusive scoop.
The second-year offensive tackle has a three-step process that is bound to land any prospective player a premier spot on any team’s draft board.
- Be yourself. You think Lar-Dawg gettin’ caught on tape with a cheap tacky bong is an irregular occurrence? Heck no. Don’t let a woman change you, don’t let your parents change you and don’t let the biggest interview of your life change you. Be true to yourself and you will never regret it, even if it costs you millions of dollars
- Do what makes you happy.There are two things in this world that make Laremy Tunsil happy; smoking weed and playing football. If Tunsil had listened to the advice of his coaches and mentors his might only be doing one of those things now. With new information being released about CTE and using weed as a potential treatment option, Tunsil has positioned himself to do the two things he loves for the rest of his life.
- Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. You want to be an adult? Sometime that means making judgement calls by your damn self. You want to eat ice cream before dinner? Do it. You want to put off laundry for the next two months? Do it. You want to potentially ruin your future as a football player smoking a $6 bong from your local convenience store? Need we say more?
Follow Laremy Tunsil’s advice, and you too could be drafted 13th overall in the NFL Draft. Don’t forget, Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time… and he does what he wants.
