When it comes to Eli Apple and his troubled 2017 season, new Giants head coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Dave Gettleman have already said the young cornerback has a clean slate.
The offseason workout program opens Monday, and when it does, that clean slate starts for Apple, whose immaturity surfaced in his second NFL season, bottoming out with his one-game suspension.
“Day 1 is Monday,’’ new defensive coordinator James Bettcher said Wednesday. “That is how I will answer that. Day 1 is Monday and every guy that walks in that room, Day 1 is Monday. So, whatever happened before — whether it was here or whether it was with a different team, guys that we draft, whether it was in college — whatever it was that has happened with guys … Day 1 is the first day those guys walk in the building, and we’re going to build from there.
