| A two-down defender with a nose for the football, Bishop is an underrated linebacker who will be downgraded because of his limitations in coverage. Has the intelligence and attitude to produce as a rookie on special teams, and could eventually develop as a starter on the inside of a 34 defense. |
| Biography: |
Junior college transfer who started the past two seasons, winning
All-Conference honors after each campaign. Led the team in tackles as
a senior, posting career numbers of 126/15/3, while also intercepting
three passes and breaking up two more. Recorded 89 tackles as a
junior.
Pos:
Intense, competitive, run-defending linebacker who works best in
the box. Hard-hitting, lays his shoulders into ball carriers and likes
to intimidate opponents. Patient, stays with assignments and takes
excellent angles to the action. Quick filling gaps in run defense,
forceful at the point and wraps up tackling. Flies around the
football, constantly making positive plays.
Neg:
Does not always play under control or within himself. Marginal
lateral range, slow to the flanks and struggles in coverage. |
