Beanie Bishop Jr. was one of the great stories of the 2024 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He not only made the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent, but he opened the season as the starting slot corner and finished with four interceptions. Until just a couple weeks ago, he was the assumed starter in the slot for the 2025 season, but Pittsburgh’s recent trade has muddied the waters for his role on the team.
I recently left Bishop off my initial 53-man roster prediction and wanted to give a more complete explanation of my thought process.
