Anger, confusion, and distress plagued the New York Giants in 2017, and cornerback Eli Apple played an integral part in the demise of the locker room. His lack of effort on the field and his immaturity caused several conflicts with teammates and anonymously ripped the coaching staff.
Apple has returned under new management in 2018, and this time around his superiors are watching over him closely. They know he’s a wild card with erratic tendencies, but his potential is still present. The former Ohio State corner entered the league with big expectations in which he failed to live up to, but the Giants gave him a second chance at life in the NFL.
