New York Giants: Eli Apple aims to make most of clean slate

The 2016 first-round pick spoke to reporters on Monday after Big Blue’s first day of organized team activities.

New York’s 22-year-old cornerback addressed his turbulent second season with the G-Men, which ended with him being suspended for the team’s regular season finale, via New York’s team website.

“Was I embarrassed? Of course. Nobody wants to go out the way I went out. I mean, it was all over the place, so of course.”

Apple played in just 11 games in 2017, making seven starts. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur both elected to give him a clean slate after accepting their new positions.
