Scout takes issue with Eli Apple's cooking skills, says he's 'just a baby'
Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple, a potential first-round pick in this year's NFL draft, is seriously lacking in life skills, according to one anonymous scout.
"I worry about him because of off-the-field issues. The kid has no life skills. At all," the scout told Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Can't cook. Just a baby. He's not first round for me. He scares me to death."
Apple's mom, Annie, didn't appreciate the comments:
We dont respond to anonymous people & things. They're not real to us. What's real is this amazing dream our son is living rite now. #GoBucks

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 former Buckeyes teammate Ezekiel Elliott also came to his defense:
Eli has made me some fire fried chicken and mac and cheese. The source seems to be pretty unreliable 😂😂

Apple is only 20 years old, so he has plenty of time to improve his cooking skills. If not, there's always takeout.
