Yes, Troy Apke is still on the Washington Football Team. But he’s got a new position, it seems. And this position may yield better results.

The Washington Football Team entered the 2020 season with a void at free safety, and at the time, they chose to roll the dice with Troy Apke. The hyper-athletic safety and former fourth-round pick had shown flashes during the offseason, but his outlook quickly soured once the regular season began.

At the end of it all, Apke was relegated to the bench once again, and he was passed over for special teams ace Deshazor Everett, who was eventually replaced by Jeremy Reaves due to injury.
