It was a bumpy start. But to hear it from Mike Tomlin now, Levi Wallace is a seamless fit. Wallace was one of several free agents signed during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ busiest offseason ever. Hampered by an undisclosed illness early in camp, Wallace has found his footing and is impressing Tomlin. Speaking to reporters following Thursday’s practice, Tomlin gave an overview of Wallace’s time with the team.
“Levi’s an easy fit,” Tomlin said via Steelers.com. “He’s a low-maintenance guy. He’s sharp, he’s competitive. He stays close in coverage. It’s been pretty much seamless.”
Wallace signed a two-year, $8 million deal coming over from the Buffalo Bills where he had spent the first four seasons of his career.
