The Pittsburgh Steelers had a busy free agency, including the signing of cornerback Levi Wallace, and today I wanted to provide some data context to what he provided last season in coverage along with Pittsburgh’s cornerbacks as well. Let’s get right to it, starting with 2021 coverage snaps and targets to get a gauge of the quantity of plays comparatively.
Comparing Wallace’s 2021 opportunities in Buffalo to the NFL and Steelers, we can see he was utilized at an above the mean rate of the 100 players on the graph. His 551 coverage snaps tied for 20th in the NFL, with his 60 targets tying for 38th most with three other players including Cameron Sutton.
