First-round pick says Beckham is helping him learn his craft
First-round pick Eli Apple is a talented young cornerback with a lot to learn. No offense to defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo or cornerbacks coach Tim Walton, but perhaps the person Apple will learn the most from is New York Giants super star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Apple lines up against Beckham every day in practice. He said Monday that Beckham “has been helping me out a lot.”
“He’s taught me how to just read routes better. He’ll tell me things from a receiver perspective, like what receivers look for,” Apple said.
