It isn’t every day when a player is asked what he brings to an organization that he chooses to highlight being a great teammate and focusing on being the best teammate in the locker room. But that is exactly what Eli Apple said in the promotional video for the Jacksonville Jaguars, highlighting his team-focused approach to football.
Apple’s play on the field with Ohio State speaks to that as well. In his two seasons with the Buckeyes, Apple had four interceptions and 17 passes defensed. Those numbers don’t jump off the page (one of the reasons he’ll be taken behind other top secondary prospects) but they do show production in a defense that helped shape Apple into being a team player.
