DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Laremy Tunsil is now using the same answer to questions about his freefall in the NFL draft, the social media hacking that cost him millions and the investigation he stirred at Ole Miss.

He says he just wants to ''talk about the Miami Dolphins.''

At his introductory news conference Friday in South Florida, the big tackle tried to tamp down the furor surrounding his slide to the 13th pick by Miami in the draft.

Touted at one time as a potential No. 1 overall pick, the Mississippi tackle slid Thursday after a video was posted on his Twitter account shortly before the draft showing him smoking from a gas mask connected to a bong.
