Beanie Bishop Jr. Could Put Lock On Starting Slot Role With Strong Preseason Showing

Center Zach Frazier isn’t the only West Virginia rookie who could put the clamps on a starting job with a strong outing Saturday night against the Buffalo Bills. Slot corner Beanie Bishop, the first-team nickel for most of the summer, could stamp his spot too.

If there was a training camp surprise, and this year’s edition didn’t have many of them, it was Bishop working in the slot for the majority of camp. He opened in that spot, initially splitting some time with SS DeShon Elliott, but clearly ran ahead of veteran Grayland Arnold throughout the first week and in the team’s preseason opener.
