Back in 2018, Wallace signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent.

He would go on to start 52 total over his four years with the Bills, playing a crucial role in numerous playoff runs . Overall, Wallace made 219 tackles, 30 pass break ups and six interceptions during his time in Buffalo.

The cornerback would then join the Steelers in 2022, spending two seasons with the franchise. Wallace matched his six interceptions from his Buffalo days, putting up 86 tackles and 24 passes defended over 31 games in Buffalo.
His final season in the NFL came with the Denver Broncos in 2024. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025 but suffered an injury before stepping on the field. Wallace now ends his career with 333 tackles, 56 passes defended and 12 interceptions over 96 games.
As an undrafted free agent, there was no guarantee Wallace would have a place in the NFL. But he carved his own path, playing a crucial role for numerous franchises. As he walks away from the league, Wallace seems proud of what he was able to accomplish.
