“Not bad.”<\/p>\n

Wallace was undrafted out of Alabama,<\/a> but being an underdog was familiar to him. He played for Nick Saban at Alabama, joining the team as a walk-on in 2014.<\/p>\n

For the first two years of his collegiate career, he played on the scout team and eventually saw the field, earning a scholarship for the 2016 season. In 2017, he became a key starter for the Crimson Tide defense during the National Championship-winning season.<\/p>\n

In 2017, he recorded 48 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and led the SEC with 15 pass breakups. He returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Coming out of Alabama, Wallace went undrafted and signed with the Buffalo Bills<\/a> as a free agent. He eventually earned a spot in the starting lineup during his rookie year, starting seven games.<\/p>\n

Once Wallace seized a spot in the secondary, he didn\u2019t let go, as he started every game he appeared in for the Bills over his four-year stint with them. With the Bills, Wallace recorded 219 tackles and six interceptions.<\/p>\n
