Beanie Bishop with Steelers

Beanie Bishop did it again. Another prime-time game ends with Bishop as the focus of conversation following a Steelers victory.

A week after Bishop picked off Aaron Rodgers twice for the first two interceptions of his NFL career, he sealed the win for Pittsburgh with his third. As Daniel Jones and the New York Giants had the ball in the final seconds of the game trailing by eight points, Bishop grabbed the pass to end the threat. Bishop stayed in bounds and celebrated, knowing the pick clinched the win for Pittsburgh.

The rookie cornerback recorded three total tackles in addition to the interception at the end of the game.

Bishop has continually reiterated his desire to prove his doubters, even NFL teams who passed on him, wrong ever since he showed up in Pittsburgh as a free agent signee of the Steelers.

“It’s one of those things that helps me every day whenever I think about getting comfortable,” Bishop expressed to WV Sports Now in May.

Bishop has actually carried a chip on his shoulder going back to when he was an undersized kid. That chip then intensified when he had to start his college career at a Group of 5 program in Western Kentucky.

“I’m 0 surprised with Beanie. He’s a football player. He may not check off all the boxes but he’s a football player,” said WVU head coach Neal Brown when asked about Bishop making his presence felt with the Steelers in training camp.

Bishop became a consensus All-American in his lone season as a Mountaineer in 2023. He picked off four passes for WVU.

There’s no word on if Bishop wants Jones’ autograph like how he requested Rodgers’ signature.
