Last year, Beanie Bishop Jr. was a nice surprise at nickel corner, and he came away with a few big turnovers. However, he’s now in a precarious position after Pittsburgh added to its cornerback room in a major way this offseason. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin acknowledged Bishop’s fight for a roster spot on Monday.
“He’s really got to fight and work to make some splash to put himself in the picture,” Austin said on Monday, via The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo on X.
Sounds like Beanie Bishop could on the bubble, with Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols ahead of him on the slot corner depth chart.
