Shannon "Beanie" Bishop Jr. (born December 17, 1999) is an American professional football cornerback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Western Kentucky, Minnesota and West Virginia.
Early life
Bishop was born in Louisville, Kentucky. At his birth, his godmother referred to him as "my beanie baby", and the nickname "Beanie" stuck. He attended Pleasure Ridge Park High School in Louisville and was football team captain while playing wide receiver, defensive back and return specialist. He was a Class 6A All-District player and played at the Best of the Bluegrass All-Star Game where he was the Greater Louisville Offensive Player of the Game. Ranked a two-star recruit, he committed to play college football for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, the only FBS team to give him an offer.
College career
As a true freshman at Western Kentucky in 2018, Bishop played four games and redshirted. The following season, he played 13 games and totaled 17 tackles and a pass breakup. In the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, Bishop played six games, one as a starter, and tallied 15 tackles with four pass breakups. He was named first-team All-Conference USA in 2021 at cornerback and honorable mention all-conference at kick returner, posting 40 tackles, three interceptions and two pass breakups in 11 games. He entered the NCAA transfer portal after the year.
Bishop ultimately transferred to the Minnesota Golden Gophers for the 2022 season. He appeared in all 13 games for the Golden Gophers and posted 29 tackles, a pass breakup and one sack. He entered the transfer portal in 2023. He signed with the West Virginia Mountaineers for his final season of college football. Bishop led the nation in both pass breakups and passes defended and was named an AP second-team All-American.
