Khan provided clarity on the role the Steelers have in mind for Bishop in the upcoming 2024 season. He emphasized that Bishop will be given an opportunity to compete for the nickel corner position, highlighting his potential to make a significant impact in that role. Additionally, Khan highlighted Bishop's considerable value on special teams, further underscoring the team's confidence in his abilities despite going undrafted.
Bishop's performance at West Virginia in 2023 speaks volumes about his capabilities. Leading the team in interceptions with four, he earned recognition as a Big 12 first-teamer, showcasing his prowess with 67 tackles and 54 solo stops. His instrumental role in the Mountaineers' defense, coupled with his knack for disrupting plays and his dynamic presence on the field, solidifies his candidacy as a promising prospect.
Undrafted and fueled by a desire to prove himself, Bishop enters the Steelers' fold with a chip on his shoulder. The organization's confidence in him stems from his impressive track record and potential to excel at the professional level. As the Steelers have seen in the past with players like Warren, Bishop could very well be the next undrafted free agent to shine brightly in Pittsburgh.
