From the moment the New York Giants selected him with the 10th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Eli Apple's family members have become famous by association and maximizing his spotlight. Eli's mother, Annie, became a social media darling on draft night for her outgoing personality and honest takes on her son. Although Eli Apple fizzled out with the Giants, he eventually caught on with the Cincinnati Bengals, who won the AFC Championship in 2022. Today, he's the starting right cornerback for the Miami Dolphins, a team expected to make serious strides toward Championship contention this year, provided their starting quarterback can stay upright. With so much optimism in the air for Eli, someone else from his extended family recently made headlines in a far different manner than his mother about seven years prior.
In a disturbing post via Instagram stories, the mother of Eli Apple's child stated that she'd be willing to shell out some cash to any NFL player who intentionally hurts him on the field.
"If you play against my baby dad this season please GO FOR THE KNEES...maybe a hammy...33 for the Dolphins - I'll gladly Zelle you back any fines," Eli Apple's BM wrote.
After the screenshot went viral, she doubled down with yet another post on IG stories. This time around, she made allegations regarding his actions during her pregnancy with their baby. The NFL has a strict domestic abuse policy when it comes to their players endangering the safety of women. It will be interesting to see how this news will be received in a reverse situation.
Scroll up and take a look at the screenshots of IG posts made by Eli Apple's BM.
