‘If You Don’t Handle The Test, You Can Expect It To Keep Coming,’: Teryl Austin Preps Beanie Bishop Jr. For First NFL Game

If there is one glaring weakness on an otherwise impressive Pittsburgh Steelers defense, it is at slot corner. Nothing against Beanie Bishop Jr., but he more or less won the slot corner battle by default with his top competition getting injured toward the end of camp.

It is highly unusual to see an undrafted rookie start in Week 1 of their first season, but that will likely happen on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Bishop may not receive an official start, but the Steelers spent about 59.1 percent of their time in defensive sub-packages last year.
