The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping Beanie Bishop Jr. is their next diamond in the rough. Just two years after unearthing RB Jaylen Warren as a college free agent, they would love the rookie cornerback to break out with similar success.
While the Steelers signed Cameron Sutton to play the slot, he will serve an eight-game suspension to start the season. In the early days of training camp, it looks like they are giving Bishop first crack at filling in there. Assuming he does, it could prove an audition for a larger role—which he believes he can handle and then some.
