Tomlin: Beanie Bishop Jr. Has ‘Absolutely Not’ Shown Enough, Slot Corner Position Still ‘Work In Progress’

While wide receiver depth has attracted most of the attention this offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there is another position that is a much bigger issue at the moment. That is at slot corner, where they are currently relying on undrafted rookie Beanie Bishop Jr. and Thomas Graham Jr., who has only played 11 career games in three seasons. Josiah Scott was waived early in training camp and Grayland Arnold suffered an injury that landed him on IR before being released with an injury settlement.

In today’s NFL with pass-first offenses, slot corner is essentially a starting position on defense.
