Posts solid rookie campaign
Bishop recorded 40 total tackles (25 solo), two passed defended and one forced fumble over 16 regular-season games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
Bishop, a 2024 second-round pick out of Utah, started just four regular-season games for the Bills during his rookie season, primarily serving as a reserve safety. Despite that limited role, the 22-year-old showed flashes of brilliance, most notably when he led the team with 10 total tackles while playing 100 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps in the AFC Championship Game loss to Kansas City while filling in for the injured Taylor Rapp (back/hip). Bishop could compete for a starting role in 2025, especially with current starter Damar Hamlin set to hit unrestricted free agency.

On track to start
Bishop is poised to take over as a starting safety for the Bills this season, Joe Buscaglia of the Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Selected in the second round of the 2024 Draft, Bishop had his rookie season derailed early by an injury in training camp, and he wound up starting just four regular-season games last year. He made a big impact in the playoffs, however, racking up 10 tackles in the AFC Championship Game against Kansas City. The Utah product has looked much more confident in OTAs this time around, and Bishop could be on course to take over a starting spot in 2025 next to Taylor Rapp in the Buffalo secondary.
