With veteran cornerback Cameron Sutton suspended the first eight games of the season following his offseason arrest in Florida, it appears that, at least after the first day of practice for the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp, rookie undrafted free agent cornerback Beanie Bishop has a leg up in the competition in the slot.
Bishop, according to an observation from The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, “got most of the work in the nickel with the first team” defense on Thursday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.
That as ahead of veteran slot cornerback Josiah Scott, who brings three years and 39 career games of experience to the table at the nickel.
