Former Bills CB Levi Wallace Retires

Wallace, 31, signed in Buffalo as an undrafted free agent out of Alabama in 2018. He did not make the 53-man roster out of training camp, but was promoted from the practice squad in November and started the last seven games of the season. Wallace held onto his starting job for the next three seasons but missed five games in 2020, primarily due to an ankle injury.

Wallace’s solid 2021 campaign – featuring 10 passes defended and just 5.8 yards per target allowed – helped him land a two-year, $4MM deal with the Steelers the following offseason. He started for two years in Pittsburgh with improved ball production but lowered coverage efficiency. In 2024, Wallace signed with the Broncos for $1.3 million and appeared in 13 games as a rotational part of their secondary.

The Jaguars gave Wallace a veteran-minimum salary last August, but he landed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury just a week later.

Playing in the NFL for seven years as a UDFA is no small feat, especially when that period includes 96 total appearances, 72 starts, and more than 4,500 snaps. Just as impressive for an undrafted player is his just under $13MM in career earnings, per OverTheCap. We at PFR congratulate Wallace on his career and wish him well in retirement.
