Annie Apple to Join ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown This Fall

Eli Apple isn't the only member of the Apple family going pro this fall.

The New York Giants selected former Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple with the 10th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft last month. On Monday, ESPN drafted his mother, Annie, to serve as a contributor this fall to Sunday NFL Countdown, its weekly NFL pregame show.

I am beyond excited to be joining the ESPN family and quite honestly, happier than a Kardashian in an NBA locker room. #Blessed
