An Anonymous NFL scout was very critical of Ohio State cornerback and NFL prospect Eli Apple.
They were surprised he ran that well. I worry about him because of off-the-field issues. The kid has no life skills. At all. Can’t cook. Just a baby. He’s not first round for me. He scares me to death.”
Apple, who left OSU after three years in Columbus, is still expected to be a 1st round pick.
Annie Apple, Eli’s mother, shared the following tweet after the report surfaced:
Btw, Eli's dad is a retired five star chef. We eat well. So stop playing with our name. Next time you say our name, put some respeck on it 😳

Apple’s reply:
Eli Apple on his maligned cooking: "I used to cook for my teammates any time they came over. It was good stuff! Nobody ever complained."

Ezekiel Elliott:
Eli has made me some fire fried chicken and mac and cheese. The source seems to be pretty unreliable 😂😂
