The Underside of the N.F.L.-Draft Hacking Scandal

On Thursday night, a twenty-one-year-old named Laremy Tunsil was expected to be the first offensive lineman selected at the annual N.F.L. rookie draft, in Chicago. Tunsil had been a star at the University of Mississippi and, according to his scouting profile at NFL.com, he was “easily [the] cleanest offensive lineman in the 2016 draft and might be the cleanest prospect period.” In sum, the profile states, “his feet, technique and instincts could make him an all-pro and one of the top pass protectors in the NFL.” Many analysts had projected him as a sure-fire top-five over-all pick. At the draft, which these days has an actual red carpet, like the Oscars, Tunsil arrived wearing a nicely cut blazer, a print bow tie, and a pair of sparkly loafers, looking at ease and very much like the multimillion-dollar football player he was about to become. His mother, beaming, walked the carpet next to him.
