Ex-Bills CB Levi Wallace Retires After Four Seasons With RBFC

Former undrafted free agent Levi Wallace, who rose to prominence in the Buffalo Bills' defense during the early years of Josh Allen's career, has announced his retirement. Wallace’s four-year journey with the team saw him make a significant impact and emerge as a reliable cornerback.

A key player in Sean McDermott’s zone-style defense for much of his time in Buffalo, Wallace recorded three pass breakups (PBUs) and 37 tackles as a rookie before moving into a full-time role. His consistent contributions included snagging two interceptions per season from 2019 to 2021, with over 75% defensive snaps in those years.

In his four seasons at the Bills, Wallace helped stabilize a corner position that evolved under Allen's leadership.

After his time as an essential part of the Buffalo team, Wallace spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos and concluded his regular-season career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. A native of Tucson, Wallace has reflected on his football journey and is excited about exploring new opportunities beyond the game he’s played since age 5.

Reflecting on his time in the NFL, Wallace stated: 'I’ve been retired for a while honestly. I’m doing other stuff and venturing out.'
