EARLIER:

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Laremy Tunsil was a no-show at his introductory news conference in South Florida.

Officials say the Miami Dolphins' first-round draft pick was unable to attend Friday because he suffered an allergic reaction while at the team complex. The cause of his illness hadn't been determined, and he was being treated by team medical staff.

Touted at one time as a potential No. 1 overall pick, Tunsil fell to 13th on 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.

Another post on his Instagram showed an alleged text exchange with an Ole Miss football staff member that included Tunsil's request for money. Tunsil said both accounts were hacked.
