# Cole Bishop

NFL player. Position: **S (Safety)**. Team: **Buffalo Bills**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Safety
- **Team:** BUF (Buffalo Bills)

## 2026 Outlook

Second-year safety who had a breakout 2025 season. Bishop registered 85 tackles, 2 sacks, 7 pass breakups, and 3 interceptions in the regular season, then added another interception in the playoff game. He's proven he can consistently find the football and make plays in high-leverage situations. Named as a 2026 breakout candidate by Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, suggesting his upside could extend even beyond his strong 2025. If Bishop takes another step forward in 2026 and cornerback Maxwell Hairston stays healthy, Buffalo could have an impressive secondary that impacts fantasy and real defense. Questions remain about whether his 2025 was a true breakout or a peak season; early 2026 performance will clarify his long-term trajectory (per Two Buffalo Bills Defensive Backs Identified as 2026 Breakout Candidates).
