Ironically, things didn’t work out for Apple in the Big Apple. He missed a few games during his rookie season due to injury. He was then a healthy scratch for four straight games in the middle of his sophomore season. Apple then had trouble getting along with teammate Landon Collins, who has actually performed during his career.

Ultimately, the Giants traded Apple to the Saints in the middle of the 2018 season, getting just a 4th and a 7th-round pick back for the former 1st rounder. At the time, the Saints were desperate for help in the secondary, so they took a chance on him. However, New Orleans has declined his option for the 2020 season, making the 2019 campaign Apple’s last chance to avoid being a complete bust.
