CB Eli Apple (All B1G, National Champion, Los Angeles Chargers)

Camp Tour: Eli Apple sends 'peace and love' to his haters

The cornerback that people love to mock is still smiling in the wake of Cincinnati's Super Bowl loss. (He'll keep talking on the field, too.)

The plot twist that nobody saw coming this past 2021-22 NFL season struck at Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC Championship Game. Absolutely nobody expected Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and the Kansas City Chiefs at their pyrotechnic best to blow a three-score lead… at home… with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

The Chiefs had one foot hovering directly over the throat of the Cincinnati Bengals with five seconds remaining in a lopsided first half. From the 1-yard line, they opted to go for the kill, for the touchdown, to make it 28-10.

And in swooped the cornerback that everybody loves to hate: Eli Apple.

The trash-talking connoisseur dumped Tyreek Hill short of the goal line, effectively choked the Chiefs’ momentum dead in its tracks and you know the rest. Cincy’s defense rendered Mahomes a pumpkin in the second half to reach the Super Bowl and Apple had the time of his life. He called Hill a “baby,” offered both he and Mecole Hardman Super Bowl tickets and ramped it up a notch in a conversation with Go Long before flying to Los Angeles for the big game. Apple said then the Bengals did not care for the Chiefs’ cocky disposition through that first half, assuring, “They f----- up.”
