Eli Apple isn’t the only member of his family who now has to work on Sundays.
His mother, Annie Apple, the prolific social media contributor who has drawn as much attention as her first-round pick of a son since the NFL draft, has been hired by ESPN as a contributor to the network’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” pregame program.
According to a release from the network, Annie Apple will “offer player profiles and other stories” for the show.
“I am beyond excited to be joining the ESPN family and to have the platform to rep sports moms’ perspectives, energy, contributions and fantastic awkwardness to viewers around the world,” Apple said in the release.
