Eli Apple is a somewhat rare example of a former first-round draft bust who nevertheless was able to salvage his career and still develop into an overall solid contributor, even if he never came close to living up to the pedigree that got him selected so early. A draft pick of the New York Giants in 2016, he is on his fourth team since then, with 2021 being his first with the Cincinnati Bengals.
And he just so happens to be in the Super Bowl, having been a full-time starter very nearly all season—but only because Trae Waynes has basically been injured for two years.
