Iron sharpens iron and right now, Beanie Bishop is shaping into a fine point.

Bishop, an undrafted free agent from West Virginia University, has stolen headlines on the defensive side of the ball. Early in training camp it seems Bishop is the odds-on favorite to be the team’s starting nickel cornerback, taking the majority of the reps with the first team.

He’s impressed against nearly every wide receiver he’s faced, even getting the better of George Pickens on a few occasions. However, if you ask him, Calvin Austin III has been his favorite and most challenging cover throughout camp.
