Guard/Tackle Laremy Tunsil

(On his allergic reaction last week) – “I actually found out what kind of fish it was. I think it was called Mahi Mahi or something like that. I had never had that before.”

(On whether he would try Mahi Mahi again) – “Never again. I can’t go through that again.”

(On what he has learned from this past week) – “You live and you learn. But, hey, I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be with this team. I’m glad to be going through this weekend (and) get to meet the coaches, get to meet some of the players, get to meet some of the vets. Like I said before, I’m blessed just to be here.”

(On his rookie minicamp experience) – “It’s going great. Like I just told you, I got to meet some of the players, some of the coaches, some of the vets. Meeting some of the vets, those are the guys you’re going to be looking up to, so it has been pretty good. I can’t complain at all.”

(On how his draft experience will be tied to him) – “I’m not worried about that. Everybody (has) their own opinions. I’m the only one who knows what kind of true character I (have), and that’s for me to prove to everybody.”

(On the veteran players he has met) – “They’re like leadership. You have to look up to them (and they say), ‘Hey, you do this. You do this in the film. You do this on the field. You do this in the weight room. Just work hard. Give it your all.’”

(On his response to the advice of veterans) – “I’m going to listen to them, of course.”

(On whether he has experience at guard or right tackle) – “Wherever they put me, I’m going to give it my all. If they put me at quarterback, I’m going to do a seven-step drop back and throw the pass. If they put me at tight end, I’m going to catch the ball. Wherever they put me, I’m going to give it my all.”

(On lining up on the offensive line) – “Like I said, wherever coach puts me, it’s fine to me.”

(On whether he has played guard before) – “I have never played guard. But hey, it’ll be a new experience. I’ll even play center. Wherever you want me to play, I’ll be fine.”

(On the difference playing inside or outside on the offensive line) – “(They’re) big guys down there. (There) would be no difference. It’s the game of football. It’s mental toughness. It’s all a mind game. It’s physical toughness also. Everything is good. Wherever they put me, it’ll be fine.”

(On the last time he played a position other than tackle) – “The Sugar Bowl, actually, when I played tight end. When I caught that touchdown pass.”

(On his personality) – “I just like to be positive in any kind of way. I’m a laid back guy, a hard worker. (I) just want to put everything on the line for the team.”

(On what veterans he has spoken to) – “I’ve been talking to (C) Mike Pouncey a lot about film work and how to work and field stuff. (He is) somebody to look up to, somebody that can show me how to lead the way.”

(On moving on from his draft experience) – “It was in the past when it happened. I’m not looking at that (anymore). I’m looking forward (and) trying to help this team out.”

(On signing his contract) – “It’s not about the contract. I’m here to help the team in any kind of way.”

(On whether he wanted to finalize his contract quickly) – “I got it past me, so yes, it was nice.”

(On how good the offensive line can be) – “I think we (are) good. In my opinion, I think we’re awesome.”

(On whether he will stay in town following rookie minicamp) – “I think I’ll be staying here (after) the rookie minicamp, yes.”

(On his rookie season goals) – “I don’t have (any) ego whatsoever. I’m here to help the team in any kind of way. Whatever I can do to help the team, I’m here.”

(On wearing No. 67) – “That was the only number available. So hey, I’ll be rocking No. 67. I’m fine with that.”

(On whether he has worn No. 67 previously) – “No. It’ll be my first time. I’m cool with it.”

(On who was responsible for hacking his social media accounts) – “I’m here to talk about the Miami Dolphins.”
