DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil has signed his rookie contract with the Miami Dolphins before joining the team's rookie minicamp, which began Friday.

Terms for the rookie from Mississippi weren't disclosed.

Touted at one time as a potential No. 1 overall choice, Tunsil was taken 13th by Miami last week after a video was posted on his Twitter account shortly before the NFL draft showing him smoking from a gas mask connected to a bong.

Miami also signed quarterback Brandon Doughty, a seventh-round pick, and 12 undrafted college free agents: linebackers Akil Blount, Tyler Gray and James Burgess, center-guard Ruben Carter, long snapper Ryan DiSalvo, safety A.J. Hendy, tight end Gabe Hughes, defensive end Farrington Huguenin, kicker Marshall Koehn, cornerback Lafayette Pitts, and receivers Rashawn Scott and Brandon Shippen.
