Will Beanie Bishop Jr. begin OTAs as the Steelers’ starting nickel cornerback—and if so, will he stay there?
Beanie Bishop Jr. achieved a rare feat for the Steelers last year, starting a season opener as a rookie UDFA. But he didn’t finish the season as the starter, and they are challenging him for that job this year. While they did not re-sign Cameron Sutton, they did bring in veteran Brandin Echols.
So when the Steelers field a veteran defense for the first time during OTAs, will Bishop or Echols line up in the nickel? I don’t know that it’s a very crucial question, but I know one thing about the answer.
