Eli Apple is a first-round NFL draft choice for a New York team with a perfect name for New York City. He could be headed for stardom. His mom, though, Annie Apple, is already a star, having taken the social media world by storm using the Twitter name (@SurvivinAmerica).
The new Giant cornerback seems to have no issue with sharing the spotlight.
"I have no problem with at all," Apple said Friday during rookie mini-camp at Quest Diagnostics Training Center. ""She wants the whole spotlight she can have it."
Apple said he "kind of expected" his mom to become an overnight sensation in NFL social media circles.
