Eli Apple is one of the more polarizing players in the NFL, and he really does not have the talent on the field to be a person who talks as much trash as he does.
Apple, who is set to be a free agent when the new league year begins in March, has never been afraid to talk trash and made that clear after his constant non stop trolling of the Buffalo Bills after his team eliminated them in the AFC Divisional round.
Once the Bengals got eliminated, a bunch of players took to Twitter to fire back at him because of his big mouth and Twitter fingers. Stefon Diggs, Patrick Mahomes’ wife, and Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill wated no time going after him.
Despite his mouth always coming back to bite him, Apple told reporters this week that he’s not going to change.
“A lot of guys are going pretty hard right now (at Apple on social media),” said Apple on Monday. “After last year, it can’t get any worse. I’ll play with that chip on my shoulder no matter what. I’ll talk my biggest trash. Whether I back it up or I don’t, it’s a game to me. It’s something that I love to do no matter what anybody else outside has to say.”
Opposing NFL players will probably roll their eyes at Apple’s comments, but at least he’s genuine and honest about why he talks so much trash.
