Pittsburgh Steelers rookie Beanie Bishop has always proved the impossible wrong.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers added former All-American Beani Bishop to their 90-man roster after the 2024 NFL Draft. But despite the West Virginia cornerback not going in the seven rounds, his professional football dreams are still very much alive.
His NFL dream was always there, but not everyone supported it. During the opening day of rookie minicamp, Bishop told the story of a former teacher telling him making it to the pros was never going to happen - until it did. “I had a teacher that once told me, when I told her I wanted to be a professional football player, ‘Get a real job - that’s not possible.’”Bishop has been passed up most of his career, but he's never allowed that to shut down his goals. He told All Steelers that he received just one FBS offer coming out of high school, starting his college career at Western Kentucky.
