Report: Giants CB Eli Apple Considered Walking Away From Team After Criticism

Related Topics: Eli Apple, Apple Inc.

Giants cornerback was so fed up with criticism during a team film session that he considered walking out of the facility, according to a report from the New York Post.

Apple, whom the Giants selected with the tenth overall pick in the 2016 draft, has struggled in his second year with the team. The film study happened after the Giants loss 31-21 to the then-winless 49ers, and multiple players were upset with what looked like a lack of effort. From the post report:

On the first, Apple allowed himself to get blocked out of bounds and did not fight hard enough, or at all, to get back into the play.
