EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants' first-round pick has been overshadowed by the second-round pick so far in training camp. Wide receiver Sterling Shepard's playmaking skills have allowed cornerback Eli Apple, the No. 10 overall selection in the 2016 NFL draft, to fly somewhat under the radar.
So I put the Giant spotlight on Apple during Thursday’s practice. Here is a rundown.
10:45 a.m.: The Giants are done stretching and break off into individual drills. The cornerbacks take direction from coach Tim Walton. Apple (6-foot-1) appears to be the tallest of the bunch even though Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is listed at 6-2.
