The Upside:

More from Dawn of the Dawg

Bishop will have ever opportunity to become a top tier safety in the college football. He has the athletic ability and size to be a safety along the lines of some Georgia football greats, Sean Jones and Bacarri Rambo, both known for their ability to play over the top and be a center fielder in the defensive schemes.

Having played offense the majority of his career, he has a good feel for catching the ball and making people miss. So he already has the ball skills to be a great ball-hawking safety for the Dawgs.

Watching film of Bishop, he seems to have really taken a feel for defense. He does a good job of covering receivers and playing his assignment in the defensive schemes. He has the speed and size to match up one on one with a receiver and the speed to cover a ton of ground in a zone coverage scheme.
