When the Pittsburgh Steelers moved swiftly to sign veteran cornerback Levi Wallace away from the Buffalo Bills on a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency, it didn’t really reverberate across the league like some moves in free agency typically do.
However, once the actual games start it could prove to be one of the savviest moves of the offseason as Wallace profiles as a strong No. 2 cornerback in the Steel City, one that can make some splash plays on the ball while providing consistent, physical downhill help in the run game.
Add in the fact that he’s on a relatively cheap deal overall in 2022, and it was an easy choice for CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin to include the former undrafted free agent in his cornerback discussion of best bargain NFL players at premium positions, joining the likes of the Colts’ Stephon Gilmore, the Eagles’ James Bradberry and the Bengals’ Mike Hilton on Benjamin’s list.
