Jets linebacker Darron Lee knows a thing or two about Giants cornerback Eli Apple. The two played together at Ohio State, built up a close friendship, and still keep in touch to this day.

So what does Lee remember about Apple as a teammate? In the wake of Giants safety Landon Collins labeling him a team "cancer?"

"Eli was a great teammate," Lee said. "That's all I've got to say on that subject ... He's a great teammate to me. So I can't speak for anything going on right now."

Jets must get a QB this offseason

It's been one thing after another for Apple, a first-round pick in 2016, this year.
