The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping for another direct hit with Beanie Bishop Jr. as a rookie college free agent. Bishop, out of West Virginia, is the only rookie undrafted player to make the 53-man roster this year. After unearthing RB Jaylen Warren in 2022, however, they failed to land any UDFAs to make the roster in 2023.
The Steelers love to tout their success with undrafted players, but the truth is they have mostly lacked their prior success in more recent years. Warren is more the exception that proves the rule than the rule itself, but Bishop can be the next.
