‘I Want Beanie!’: Steelers Coaches Challenge Bishop With George Pickens Matchup

The Pittsburgh Steelers are certainly taking a long, hard look a rookie free agent CB Beanie Bishop Jr. Things may change as time moves on, but so far, they are throwing everything at him, seeing how he responds. Wednesday marked arguably his biggest challenge—going one-on-one against George Pickens.

Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes that defensive backs coach Grady Brown specifically called for Bishop during a red-zone drill in which a defensive back has one-on-one coverage against a receiver. Fellow rookie Ryan Watts stepped up when Pickens lined up, but Brown called for his slot cornerback.
