Bishop Sankey on Fearless Running
Today I go Beyond the Surface with professional football player, Bishop Sankey. Bishop was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Before the NFL, Bishop played collegiately at the University of Washington. He carried the ball 644 times for 3,496 yards (third-most in Huskies’ history) and scored 37 touchdowns on the ground, while also adding 567 yards and one more score on 67 receptions (8.46 ypc) and 134 yards on seven kickoff returns (19.14 avg) for a total of 4,197 all-purpose yards (110.45 ypg). In 2013, with a 200-yard game against Washington State in the Apple Cup, he finished the game and the regular season with 1,775 yards for the season, breaking Corey Dillon’s 1996 record of 1,695 yards. On the same play on which he passed Dillon, a seven-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, he also broke Napoleon Kaufman’s school career rushing touchdowns record, with his 35th.
Last year Bishop was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots and he is now on the Minnesota Vikings.
