Eli Apple had some disrespect for Jalen Hurts on a random Sunday from a tweet three years ago:

Not great to see your quarterback mocked publicly by Eli Apple. South Jersey’s Eli Apple. I know he had a good game Saturday, but he’s Eli Apple. The guy Michael Thomas almost ruined at Ohio State:
Re: Michael Thomas as a competitor
Bobby Carpenter says MT almost ruined Eli Apple at OSU, would dominate him on every route and then throw the ball at him after making each catch — then would run over to DC Kerry Coombs and tell him to “recruit a DB that can guard me.”

A first round bust who is on his 4th team in six years. A guy who has four minutes of him getting burned on YouTube. Human toast. And what game was DeVonta Smith even talking about? The Steelers Saints game from 2018. I’m sure Eli shut down the Steelers receivers. Nope. The Saints got torched for 380 yards with 300 of those coming from Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. So DeVonta Smith’s original tweet was absolutely warranted:
And Jalen Hurts wasn’t the only one who got it on Sunday. Eli went after Giants and Saints fans. Called Jameis Winston “crab legs” (lol). And said Sean Payton needs to go if the Saints want to win anything:
