The former Ohio State cornerback is entering his ninth NFL season. He played in just four regular-season games last year, recording two tackles and one pass breakup.

The No. 10 overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, Apple started his career with the New York Giants before they traded him to the New Orleans Saints in 2018. He joined the Carolina Panthers in 2020, spending one year there before a two-year run with the Cincinnati Bengals. He then spent one year with the Miami Dolphins before joining the Chargers last season.

Just sayin': He had a great run at Ohio State, played 11 seasons in the NFL, and made over $25M in just his NFL contracts.

However, what I mostly remember mostly about him is his mother. His mother Anne Apple led an advocacy effort in January 2015 helping parents of Ohio State players secure travel stipends from the College Football Playoff to attend the national championship game.

Background on the Travel Stipend Fight

• • High Costs: Families spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to travel and watch the team play deep into the postseason.
  • The Push: Annie Apple and other football parents spoke out publicly and pressured organizers regarding the financial burden.
  • The Result: The College Football Playoff and NCAA eventually provided a travel stipend (around $1,250 per parent) to help families offset travel and lodging expenses.

Needless to say, that was years before the start of NIL......
