The 2016 NFL Draft was especially noteworthy for former Ohio State and current New York Giants cornerback Eli Apple. Last week, in the days leading up to the draft, the ever-famous “anonymous scout” told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he was worried “of off-the-field issues” regarding Apple. What were said off-field issues, you ask?
“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.”
As it turned out, though, Apple’s reported inability to so much as boil water didn’t come back to haunt him. Not only did Apple go in the first round, he went 10th overall. There’s a lot of contract money associated with that type of pick, meaning there can be plenty of people attempting to take advantage of Apple’s newfound wealth. According to Apple’s mom, Annie, who is an all-timer on Twitter for football moms, that meant “thirsty girls” who needed to stay out of her son’s DMs.
Praying for all the thirsty girls sliding in new NFL rookies DMs with heavy booty & cleavage action pics. Only Jesus can quench your thirst

It’s fair to guess Apple’s mom was also the one chaperoning his middle-school dances, telling kids to save room for Jesus as they awkwardly swayed back and forth to Boyz II Men. But she’s probably right about people trying to involve themselves in her son’s life now that he stands to make millions of dollars.
