More than eight years on from the moment, Houston Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil relived his tumultuous experience on the night of the 2016 NFL draft.

Tunsil, considered to be a top-10 pick, slipped to the Miami Dolphins at No. 13 after someone hacked his Twitter account and shared a video of him wearing a gas mask and smoking marijuana.

"I was panicking a little bit, and I'm just like 'Don't let my mom and my auntie see this,'" he said to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime. "How can we get this cleaned up and remove this as fast as possible?"

Bien-Aime detailed how the video had a tangible impact on Tunsil's draft position.

A former Baltimore Ravens staffer told him it "definitely played a role in the discussion" as they weighed whether to take Tunsil before selecting Ronnie Stanley.

It was the same story for the San Francisco 49ers, with one team source telling Bien-Aime they hadn't done a lot of legwork on Tunsil since they didn't think he'd be available by even the seventh pick.

"So when the video dropped, and he was available, we didn't feel like we knew him well enough to override [DeForest] Buckner's basically perfect background," the source said.

Tunsil began to fear the worst as he kept waiting on the call every draft prospect wants to receive.

"Once I saw Baltimore and Tennessee, the two teams I know that wanted me, passed on me, it didn't feel good," he said. "I really thought I was dropping to the second and third round."

Things ultimately worked out well for Tunsil. He's a four-time Pro Bowler with $121 million in career earnings to this point.

Still, memories from the 2016 draft haven't faded completely.

"To this day, I still have that chip on my shoulder just to prove everybody wrong. ... It just showed everyone I do make mistakes, but that's not who I am," he told Bien-Aime. "So that was just one part of the journey. But I want the gold jacket. I want to be known as one of the best ever. "
