Eli Apple Denies Shading Damar Hamlin After Bengals Win

Eli Apple states he was NOT attempting to diss Damar Hamlin on Twitter after the Bengals beat the Bills on Sunday … declaring he would never ever play down the Buffalo security’s medical emergency situation.

The tweet in concern came late Monday night … when the 6-year NFL cornerback quote tweeted Stefon Diggs‘ post resolving his feelings after the video game.

“Cancun on 3,” Apple responded in the tweet … ending it with a hand heart emoji.

Many thought the emoji was a referral to Hamlin, who has actually been understood to do the heart hands throughout his profession … and most just recently, following his in-game collapse on Jan. 2.

In truth, the 24-year-old security made the gesture throughout the divisional round match while being in the Highmark Stadium suite.

Hamlin’s colleague, Shaq Lawson, called Apple out on it … stating the disrespect will not be endured and “that s*** get you beat up frfr. Keep it on the field.”

But Apple — who re-signed with the Bengals last March — rejected the shade, stating Tuesday he would never ever joke about a major event like that.

“All love thoughts prayers and concerns to @HamlinIsland as he continues to recover from that tragic incident,” Apple stated through Twitter.

“Never would I make light of that scary unfortunate scene. This game is truly a dangerous risk to our bodies mind and spirit. Nothing but love to all my football brothers.”
