Eli Apple is ready to face his former teammate Odell Beckham Jr. in Super Bowl LVI.
Apple and Beckham were teammates on the Giants for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. During that time, Apple said he learned the wide receiver‘s tendencies as a player.
So, when Apple's Bengals and Beckham's Rams reached the Super Bowl, Apple reportedly told his defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo that he wants to guard Beckham on Sunday.
CBS Sports‘ We Need To Talk discussed the Apple-Beckham reports, reporting that the cornerback told Anarumo that he was ready to lock in on Beckham.
