Teryl Austin: CB Beanie Bishop Jr. ‘Right In The Competition’ For Starting Slot Corner

Related Topics: Teryl Austin, Mike Tomlin

When the first depth chart was released last week ahead of the opening preseason game, the lone rookie listed as a starter was undrafted rookie CB Beanie Bishop Jr. This wasn’t a huge surprise given his involvement with the first-team defense throughout much of training camp, but rewind to the beginning of OTAs in the spring, and I don’t think many would have guessed Bishop to be the lone rookie starter on the depth chart.

He ended up playing 20 snaps on defense in the preseason game against the Houston Texans and had four total tackles.
