As an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia, there are some anxious hours and moments ahead on Tuesday for Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie Beanie Bishop Jr.
Already a long-shot after going undrafted, Bishop faces an uphill climb in making the 53-man roster for the Steelers after missing one preseason game due to injury. Despite being that long-shot, Bishop is taking some solace in the anxious hours and moments ahead that he did enough to show the team just what he can do.
Speaking with reporters Monday following practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side ahead of the final roster cuts deadline, Bishop said he believes he proved he can make plays in all situations as that slot cornerback that the Steelers need.
