How high is Bishop's ceiling?

[GreggTX]

He has missed much time in his 1st 2 seasons, but he's clearly starting to get it. He is also an excellent athlete -- RAS was 9.88 out of a possible 10.0.

Assuming that he enjoys relatively good health, how good will he be 2-5 seasons from now?

He has a chance to be a Pro Bowl level safety IMO. Bishop is really developing. He has the physical skills to be a very good centerfielder

Micah Hyde

Modern day John Lynch

We (my family) are super stoked about his play and feel he’s getting better every game. I’m not sure what his ceiling is but at this point seems high. I noticed him confidently giving on field directions yesterday too.

I was just thinking about this yesterday myself and I think he has a very high ceiling. Has strong athleticism and instincts and continues to improve every week. I know this sounds crazy but I think he can be pretty close to a Troy Polamalu level player for us if he continues to develop. He is a really damn good ball player

My guess is about 8-9 feet.  As far as football goes ... love seeing him playing more instinctively.  As he gets more experience, he should eventually play smarter.  Good progress for sure!! 👍

Loved Micah but I think Bishop has a much higher ceiling than that 

[Just Jack]

I've never been in his house, but typical height is 8-9 feet. Higher end homes can go up to 10 feet or more.

Laughing thinking what the responses to this would have been just one month ago. 

 

Things change fast in the NFL.

Way beyond Micah Hyde.  Bishop is bigger and both have the same speed.  Bishop has had two breakout games this year with an extremely high limit.  He will only get better with experience.

Ceiling height? Vaulted

next season put a "C" on his jersey

[ColoradoBills]

Seriously,

He is coming along really well.

 

Glad they didn't listen to the "bust" calls we all heard.

[BuffaloMatt]

Poyer playing instead of Rapp has really helped him IMO.

I think that the ceiling was always high. The athletic ability is there. The floor was pretty low though. He looked lost. Some guys could be really good or just bad. Other guys range from a little below average to a little above average.

Hyde has a significantly bigger wingspan - an arm length of 31.5" to Bishop's 29.75." That's significant. The Bills have always prioritized long arms for their DBs. Bishop doesn't have especially long arms, but in my opinion was a hell of a player at Utah and an excellent prospect. I really liked the pick at the time.

I always figured he'd eventually get it. He was a smart player coming out and the college game is so different. Learning the safety position in the Bills' D is going to take some time for any rookie.

His diagonal pursuit skills are limitless. His up and down and side to side instincts are pretty much non-existent though.

Ceiling is 1st team All-Pro.  If he keeps this type of play up, he’ll be a pro bowler this season
