Tough, instinctive Terps linebacker whose ceiling was dented by knee injuries
Kevin Bishop flashed real impact in the 1999 season for Maryland, starting the first nine games and piling up 84 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 4 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles before a torn ACL ended his year. The big differentiator is his blend of quickness, agility, and instincts when healthy—he was described by Maryland as a linebacker who gets to the football fast. The caution flag is durability: injuries to both knees slowed his career, so he fits best for a team that values veteran savvy and pursuit speed but can manage medical risk.
