His season was an embarrassment. There is no way around it. But, did Eli Apple feel that way about his 2017 misadventures with the Giants?
“Was I embarrassed? Of course,’’ Apple said Monday. “Nobody wants to go out the way I went out. I mean, it was all over the place, so of course.’’
The merciful end to a dismal second NFL season came with Apple in Week 17 serving a one-game suspension, punishment imposed by the Giants for repeated bouts of unprofessional conduct, the final blow coming when the young cornerback got into a verbal altercation with his position coach during practice.
