Allen Park — About 7 miles down Michigan Avenue from the Detroit Lions practice facility, you’ll find Bishop Auto Wrecking in Inkster.
The nearly 50-year-old family business opened by Freddie Bishop Sr. in 1969 has an impeccable reputation, carrying an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. Built from the ground up on the back of hard work and determination, it serves as a constant source of pride and motivation for Freddie Bishop III, the 259-pound linebacker looking to latch on with the Detroit Lions this training camp.
Bishop, 28, is in his second stint with the Lions, although it might be a stretch to call the five weeks in he spent with the club in 2013 as an undrafted free agent out Western Michigan a stint.
