Greg Bishop started every game of his final three collegiate seasons (1990-92) at left tackle for the Pacific football team after playing on the defensive line as a freshman in 1989.

As a junior in 1991, Bishop earned All-Big West Conference Second Team honors as a starter on the offense that led the nation with an average of 511.3 yards per game. He followed that performance with an All-Big West Conference First Team bid as a senior and an appearance at the 1993 East-West Shrine Game. Greg received the National Strength and Conditioning Award in 1992, and received team honors as the most valuable lineman and iron man.

Bishop blocked for two-time All-American and fellow Pacific Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Ryan Benjamin in 1991 and 1992, and Benjamin rushed for more than 1,400 yards each of those two seasons. A versatile left tackle who was also an outstanding pass protector, Bishop was honored by the NFL Draft Report as an All-America First Team choice on special teams.

Bishop was selected by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 1993 NFL Draft. He played for the Giants from 1993-98, including one stretch when he started 65 consecutive contests. Greg concluded his NFL playing career with the Atlanta Falcons in 1999.
