About Laremy Tunsil
Laremy Tunsil will forever be the gas mask guy. On draft night in 2016, a video surfaced of him smoking from a gas mask bong, his draft stock cratered in real time on national television, and he became the most famous offensive lineman in NFL history for reasons that had nothing to do with blocking. He fell to the 13th pick, lost millions of dollars, and somehow turned the whole disaster into motivation that made him one of the best left tackles in football. The redemption arc would be inspiring if the original footage wasn't so funny.
Washington added Tunsil to protect Jayden Daniels, and the move was treated like acquiring a piece of critical infrastructure. He's an elite pass protector who keeps quarterbacks clean and rarely makes the highlight reel for anything other than old internet jokes. The contrast between his dominant on-field play and his eternal association with that draft night video is what makes him compelling. He's a top-five tackle in the NFL and the first thing anyone mentions is still the bong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Laremy Tunsil so memeable despite being an offensive lineman?
The gas mask video made him the most recognizable lineman in NFL history. Offensive linemen are usually anonymous, but Laremy became a household name before he played a single NFL snap. Every draft night, the clip resurfaces. Every time he signs a massive contract, someone posts the video with a 'worked out fine' caption. The meme is older than some of his teammates.
