Apke was a Penn State safety known for rare speed — he ran a 4.35-second 40 at the 2018 NFL Combine — and for making splash plays, including earning MVP honors at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl after seven tackles and a forced fumble. His appeal is less about gaudy box-score production and more about versatility, athletic ceiling, and special-teams utility; he fits best with a staff that values range, effort, and coverage upside over polished, mistake-free consistency.
