25 Eli Apple 6’ 1” 203 CB Ohio State
We traded for Apple last year during the season, and he played well. But we declined the fifth year option on his contract. He needs to keep improving to show he’s worth a big payday. Look for him to do just that. Apple was having trouble fitting in with the Giants, but he landed here with college teammates Vonn Bell and Marshon Lattimore. He hit a good stride right away with us, and he likes New Orleans. The team likes him, too, despite not picking up his fifth year. It was just too expensive for us. But Apple is a good player, and right now he is our starter opposite Lattimore. Give him a lot of credit for coming into a defense during the season and putting down some good games. Even though he was a bit inconsistent, he’s now got a whole training camp to get more familiar with our schemes. I’m thinking he’s going to look better and better.
