Draft Profile: Bio
DeSean Bishop from Karns High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Bishop joined Tennessee.In 2024 as a freshman Bishop saw action in 4 games for the Volunteers as he ran for 287 yards on 38 attempts for an elite 7.6 yards per carry, with 3 TDs, with no fumbles. As a receiver he made only one reception for 10 yards.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Bishop does a nice job with recognition as a pass protector and gives good effort.
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and Bishop shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- He’s not a burner, and he is more of a block-what’s-given runner than a guy who is going to create.
- He has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
- He’s patient, letting blocks develop then accelerating. He runs with a good forward lean and consistently falls forward.
- He brings a nice blend of power and passing game skills. Bishop has a compact build and a naturally low center of gravity, and he runs with excellent balance through traffic, allowing him to squeeze through for yardage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Bishop is the kind of glue guy who has a chance to stick around for a long time as a role player and special teams contributor. But Bishop doesn’t have the physical skills to stand out in a very good running back class.
- As a runner, he too often looks to bounce outside and make the big play, rather than pick his way through traffic.
- Goes down too easily upon contact and needs to do a better job staying on his feet and anticipating hits. Needs to be more of a finisher and run with more purpose and determination.
