The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a few spots open on their 90-man roster, signing few college free agents, but they used one spot on CB Beanie Bishop Jr. We still don’t know what signing bonus they gave him, but you only need to hear them talk about him.
They clearly viewed him as a draftable player, and may have drafted him if they had a seventh-round pick. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons that Bishop wound up in Pittsburgh. “I felt like it was a mutual respect thing”, he said about his pre-draft relationship with the Steelers.
