Troy Apke Commanders Washington Washington Commanders

You couldn’t get rid of him that easily.

Apke, who was drafted as a safety, moved to cornerback last offseason. However, Apke’s best known for his work on special teams. Head coach Ron Rivera has repeatedly praised Apke for his play on special teams.

In total, Apke has appeared in 50 games for the Commanders. He started nine games, all coming in 2019 and 2020 when Washington tried Apke as the free safety.

Apke was released in Washington’s first round of cuts two weeks ago.
