For example, the Baltimore Ravens , who had the sixth right to vote, said they did not choose Tunsil because of the video. Ultimately, he was selected 13th by the Miami Dolphins . Subsequently, a conversation between Tunsil and a college representative was published on Tunsil's Instagram account, which was also hacked, which showed that Tunsil had illegally accepted money to pay his mother's bills. He signed a four-year contract for $ 12.45 million with the Dolphins.
