His personality coupled with him being a top 10 draft pick makes his play look worse that it really is... Apple's biggest weakness is he misses a very high percentage of tackles in the open field which leads to big plays. 

This is another example of the season taken as a whole over the trend.   The last five games, Apple's tackling rating was never below a 75.  That is BETTER than Jalen Ramsey over the same time frame.  He did have some MAJOR whiffs early in the season, but how he progressed over a 17 game season is impressive.
