CFL star Freddie Bishop trying to make his mark with Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets haven’t won a championship since 1969, but they did add a champion this offseason.

Freddie Bishop isn’t a Super Bowl winner, but he did win a Grey Cup with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. And now the outside linebacker is getting a chance to prove he can play in the National Football League.

“I think it’s going pretty good,” Bishop said after practice Tuesday. “Making strides every day. Just trying to continue to get better, show my skills, adjust to the game a little bit -- it’s a little bit different coming back down here.
