BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) -- The mother of Giants first-round pick Eli Apple will make an NFL debut of her own this fall.
ESPN said Monday that Annie Apple would join ''Sunday NFL Countdown'' as a contributor. She will offer player profiles and other stories for the pregame show.
Annie Apple is a blogger who gained widespread attention with her social media posts on draft day last month. Her cornerback son was drafted 10th overall out of Ohio State.
Among her observations was questioning why dessert wasn't served at a reception. That led to Commissioner Roger Goodell sending her brownies.
