USAT: Giants Wire

Jan 24, 2022

New York Giants fans may be surprised to learn that cornerback Eli Apple, the team’s wasted first-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, still has a spot on an NFL roster. - Apple currently plays for a Cincinnati Bengals team that is bound for the AFC Championship Game. And, at least in part, it’s Apple who helped send them there. - During a divisional round victory over the Tennessee Titans, Apple came up big in the final seconds. As Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill unnecessarily forced a pass into traffic, Apple stepped in and deflected it, leading to a game-changing interception. - A few short plays later, the Bengals connected on a 52-yard field as time expired for the win. - It was undeniably the biggest moment of Apple’s otherwise lackluster career. It was also a big moment for the Bengals, who after decades of losing are headed to their first conference championship game since 1988. - Needless to say, the Bengals and their players have reasons to celebrate. But Apple, who found a rare moment in the spotlight, has chosen to go in a different direction. - Rather than being thrilled for his teammates and the organization, Apple has used the moment to take aim at the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints, their respective fan bases and the reporters who cover each team. - - Shut up sucka boy - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 23, 2022 - - - - Idk which fan base I hate more prolly the saints but It’s close wit the giants it’s a toss up - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 24, 2022 - - - - this what I wanna do to them ravens saints and giants fans
