If there were ever a “perfect” game for Beanie Bishop Jr. to introduce himself as an undrafted gem to football’s broader audience, Week 7’s Sunday Night Football encounter against a Hall of Fame-bound quarterback likely sufficed. Historic in capturing his moment, Pittsburgh’s first-year cornerback made his name a must-hear, covering a down-the-seam route from the Steelers’ “Tampa 2” defense before seizing his NFL career’s first pick. Talented enough to immediately begin searching for encores, Bishop became just history’s fifth-ever defender to record multiple single-game picks on New York’s celebrated gunslinger, turning a mishandled catch into a near-pick-six. The driving factor behind two different touchdowns, Bishop helped captain Oct. 20, 2024’s 37-15 win over the Jets, recording six tackles and two interceptions (for 41 yards).
