Eli Apple’s mom uses “MommyCam” at New York Giants OTAs

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., June 25 (UPI) — New York Giants rookie Eli Apple doesn’t usually get dropped off at OTAs, but when he does, it’s by his mom.

Annie Apple voiced her support for her son as she dropped him off at OTAs last month. Apple went on a tweeting spree, using the hashtag: “#MommyCam.”

“Eli’s first day as a NY Giants,” Annie Apple tweeted Thursday. “It’s hard to turn off the mommy meter at these pivotal moments. Corny & proud. #tbt.”

Apple’s first video profiled dropping her son off at the training facility. “We are live at MetLife,” Apple said. “The training facility of course. This is Eli’s first day.”

“Mom, we gotta go,” said Eli Apple in the video.

“Look at Eli’s little security man,” Annie Apple said.

“We gotta get to the bus,” the Giants cornerback said in the video.

She followed the video with tweets that read: “#tbt Eli reporting for OTAs. #MommyCam” and “Eli’s First day of OTAs finale. I’ve been doing this since youth football. #tbt #MommyCam #GoGiants.”

Apple was drafted out of Ohio State with the No. 10 overall selection in April’s NFL Draft. He signed a four-year $15.2 million deal this offseason, with a $9.2 million signing bonus.
