The New York Giants used first-round NFL Draft picks on Beckham (2014) and Apple (2016). They were teammates in New York from 2016-to-2018.
Beckham was traded to the Cleveland Browns in March 2019. Beckham was waived by the Browns on Nov. 8, signing a one-year deal with the Rams on Nov. 11.
The Giants traded Apple, a former Ohio State standout, to the New Orleans Saints for draft picks during the 2018 season. Apple was a free agent in 2020. He signed a 3-year deal with the Carolina Panthers but only played in 2 games before he was released. He signed a one-year deal with the Bengals in March 2021.
This postseason, Apple has 12 tackles and 3 passes defended.
