undersized-for-the-position disruptor who played bigger than the label
In the 2013 season, Ken Bishop was a high-motor Northern Illinois defensive tackle who produced 70 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions in a 12-2 year, an unusually active stat line for an interior lineman.[10] Scouting notes consistently described him as a stocky, strong, “tweener” type with real playmaking juice, praised for chasing plays, winning with effort, and showing up in key moments rather than just eating space.[3][15] If a team wants toughness, short-area burst, and a disruptive interior presence, he’s a fit; if it wants a classic massive nose tackle, he’s not the cleanest match.[2][3]
