As 49ers.com runs down the list of top prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, we continue our “Meet the Prospect” series with Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple.
The Basics
There are a number of talented cornerbacks at the top of the draft, and Apple is in the mix. After Jalen Ramsey (depending on if you list him as a corner or safety), Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves, Clemson’s Mackensie Alexander and Alabama’s Cyrus Jones join Apple in the race to be the next corner off the board.
Apple opted to leave Ohio State as a redshirt sophomore.
