“Not bad.”

Wallace was undrafted out of Alabama, but being an underdog was familiar to him. He played for Nick Saban at Alabama, joining the team as a walk-on in 2014.

For the first two years of his collegiate career, he played on the scout team and eventually saw the field, earning a scholarship for the 2016 season. In 2017, he became a key starter for the Crimson Tide defense during the National Championship-winning season.

In 2017, he recorded 48 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and led the SEC with 15 pass breakups. He returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.

Coming out of Alabama, Wallace went undrafted and signed with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent. He eventually earned a spot in the starting lineup during his rookie year, starting seven games.

Once Wallace seized a spot in the secondary, he didn’t let go, as he started every game he appeared in for the Bills over his four-year stint with them. With the Bills, Wallace recorded 219 tackles and six interceptions.

Wallace signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers following his Bills tenure, and started 18 of 31 games over two seasons. While he didn’t start as much, he still remained a ball hawk, snaring six interceptions over those two years for Pittsburgh.

In Wallace’s final season with Denver, he started two of 13 games and recorded 28 tackles.

In 96 career games, Wallace recorded 333 tackles, 56 pass deflections and 12 interceptions.
