Youth with experience
Finally, the Panthers are getting a good blend of youth and experience with Apple. He is just 24 years old and he’s already started 48 games in his career, or three full seasons’ worth. That’s three more than the team’s fourth-round pick, Troy Pride Jr., who is the next-best candidate to take James Bradberry’s place starting outside opposite Donte Jackson.
If defensive coordinator Phil Snow and defensive backs coach Evan Cooper can get Apple to clean up his technique and deliver on his promise, this could turn out to be a superb low-cost, high-reward signing.
