Levi Wallace Believes Having Minkah Fitzpatrick As Secondary Leader Will ‘Benefit Me For The Long Run’

The relationship dating back to their time together at the University of Alabama under Nick Saban for Pittsburgh Steelers’ star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and new cornerback Levi Wallace has been well-documented to this point.

In fact, part of the reason Wallace signed a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency with the Steelers, leaving the Buffalo Bills, was due to getting the chance to play with his close friend and former college teammate once again.

Now that the two are reunited in the black and gold — and have swapped numbers — Wallace, during his first mandatory minicamp with the Steelers at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, stated to reporters Wednesday following practice that it’s fun to be with Fitzpatrick again due to the leadership and work ethic he brings to the table, which will do nothing but benefit Wallace in the long run.
