Exciting: CB Beanie Bishop Jr. ‘Right In The Competition’ for Starting Slot Corner, Says Teryl Austin
Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive coordinator Teryl Austin has ignited excitement among fans by declaring that rookie cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. is “right in the competition” for the starting slot corner position. Bishop, who joined the Steelers as a late-round pick, has impressed the coaching staff with his work ethic and playmaking ability during training camp.
Bishop’s rise through the ranks has been nothing short of remarkable. Despite being drafted in the seventh round, the former Minnesota standout has shown that he has the talent and determination to compete at the highest level. His ability to cover quick slot receivers and his instinctive play have made him a standout in a crowded cornerback room.
Austin praised Bishop’s versatility, noting that his speed and agility make him a perfect fit for the slot corner position. “Beanie has come in and really embraced the challenge. He’s been working hard, and he’s showing us that he belongs on the field. He’s right in the competition for that starting spot,” Austin said during a recent interview.
The Steelers’ defense has long been known for its toughness, and the competition for the slot corner position is fierce, with veterans like Arthur Maulet also vying for the job. However, Bishop’s performance in camp has given him a legitimate shot at securing the role.
As the preseason continues, all eyes will be on Bishop to see if he can carry his strong training camp performance into live game action. If he continues to impress, the Steelers may have found a hidden gem in the young cornerback. For now, the battle for the starting slot corner spot is one of the most intriguing storylines in Pittsburgh.
