Thanks to our Alex Kozora’s training camp reports, we’ve learned that CB Beanie Bishop Jr. has dominated the first team slot corner reps, a position that has one of the largest questions of who could fill that role. So far, that man has been Bishop, especially now that Grayland Arnold is on IR.
Considering this, I wanted to look at Bishop’s last season with quantity slot reps. That was in 2022 with Minnesota, prior to seldom usage with West Virginia last season. This should answer many questions on his play in the slot, that will pair nicely to my previous overall college and NFL coverage studies, along with this 2023 slot coverage study of current Pittsburgh defensive backs.
