About Blaine Bishop
Blaine Bishop had a very successful 10-year career in the NFL. With the Oilers he became an anchor on the defense. Plus he is a fan favorite known as the “Hit-Man” because of his hard-hitting play. When the team moved to Nashville as the Tennessee Titans, Bishop and his accompanying defense took the team to new heights, becoming the pinnacle of NFL defenses.
The eighth-round pick earned four Pro Bowls in his nine years with the Titans; helping the team win their first AFC Championship Game and advance to the Super Bowl. In addition, Bishop earned Pro-Bowl starts in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2000 and a three-time All-Pro selection in 1995, 1996, and 2000. Bishop is still widely recognized as the NFL’s premier hitting safety during his tenure with the Oilers/Tennessee Titans. Therefore, Bishop’s NFL career will be remembered as one of perseverance and a work ethic that was admired not only by his team, but by his opponents.
After retiring from his playing career, Bishop went straight into sportscasting. He has a successful career starting at NewsChannel5, NFL Network and Titans Radio, and now on Nashville’s “104.5 the Zone” where he can be heard as part of their Wake Up Zone Morning Show. Bishop is married to wife Cella of 20 years. In addition, they have one son, Chayce. Make sure you follow Blaine on Instagram at @blainebishop23.
