Rookie undrafted free agent slot cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. could be placed in the overlooked and underrated categories for the Pittsburgh Steelers. last Sunday night, though against the New York Jets in a primetime matchup, Bishop made some of the biggest plays defensively for the Black and Gold, helping Pittsburgh roll to a 37-15 win.
