For four seasons in Buffalo, cornerback Levi Wallace flew under the radar as an often overlooked piece of a high-level secondary that featured the likes of Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
Now, after signing a two-year deal worth $8 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency, Wallace is no longer flying under the radar, instead being asked to replace Joe Haden’s physicality and leadership in a rebuilt cornerbacks room. His level of play might fly under the radar nationally, but his name is a big one in Pittsburgh for the time being.
That said, Wallace continues to get a lot of love as an underrated player for the black and gold, earning the title of the Steelers’ “most underrated player” from Football Outsiders in partnership with ESPN Friday.
