I don't think he came out of it looking very good. Not enough that you have teams worried you have Josh Gordon Syndrome... then you have NCAA rule violation scandal as well? He just kept saying "I'm blessed, I'm excited, I wouldn't say that, I'd have to say yes"... I don't think he even knew what question he was answering. Sure made him look dishonest to me, something to hide.
If it were me, I'd come out and say, "Yeah, it was unfortunate that someone hacked my account. I'm furious about it, but there's nothing I can do after the draft. I'm happy to have the chance to play for the Dolphins and I want to focus on moving forward."
At least admit your real feelings. The kid didn't even admit he was mad. You know he's mad, I know he's mad, everyone knows he's mad, but he can't own up to that. This is after you get exposed as a rule breaker. It doubles up the distrust for me. I know these kids get coached to not say anything wrong and focus on excitement for the future... but that shit don't work when you just had the biggest draft scandal of the night. If you stick to the script, you look bad.
