I bet this is a twist you didn’t expect. Eli Apple, one of the most hated New York Giants of the last decade, is back in the headlines, and he’s set to join his seventh NFL team. On Sunday afternoon, the 2016 first-rounder signed a one-year deal to join the San Francisco 49ers.
If you’re a Giants fan, this name should send a shiver down your spine, because calling his time in the Big Apple a disaster wouldn’t be doing it justice. Whether it was the constant blown coverages, the disciplinary benchings, or the infamous “he’s a cancer” quote from Landon Collins, Apple quickly fell out of favor in East Rutherford.
