Everyone remembers the famous Laremy Tunsil gas mask video that surfaced hours before the NFL Draft several years ago. He was deemed the top prospect entering the draft that year, but the video forced him to fall down the draft boards. Regardless, the Houston Texans' star has had a phenomenal career and now will be using that video for charity purposes.

According to ESPN, Laremy Tunsil has turned the gas mask video into an NFT. It will be the only NFT of the video, making it a rare and unique item for anyone interested in buying it. Additionally, the Texans' star will be using a portion of the money to help benefit “cannabis criminal justice reform.”

NFTs are all the rage right now, as they are essentially digital forms of art. It's extremely clever to turn a negative moment in Tunsil's life into an opportunity to help with cannabis criminal justice reforms. Although the video is easily found on Google, the money the NFT generates will help those in need.

The Texans' star has been one of the most consistent left tackles in the league since his arrival. After the initial release of the video nearly jeopardized his NFL career, Laremy Tunsil has bounced back in a huge way. Houston is grateful to have him, as he is a building block for the front office to build around.

Keep an eye on the Texans in the 2022 NFL Draft, as the team should bring in plenty of new faces to create a more competitive roster.
