Pittsburgh Steelers CB Beanie Bishop Jr. had an uneven rookie season. That’s always to be expected for rookies, especially undrafted ones. But Bishop’s rookie season was not a typical one.
In fact, Bishop was flying high midway through the season. In a Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets, Bishop picked Jets QB Aaron Rodgers off not once but twice. That’s an incredible feat for any corner, much less an undrafted free agent. Unfortunately, Bishop’s on-field opportunities soon took a precipitous dip as the Steelers turned to veteran CB Cam Sutton.
That’s tough for any football player.
