Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Levi Wallace revealed on Instagram that he has retired from the NFL.
“Walk-on. Undrafted. 8 years. Retired. Not bad,” Wallace wrote on Instagram along with posting a video of his career highlights.
Wallace started 18 games at outside cornerback for the Steelers in 2022 and 2023 after coming over from the Buffalo Bills as a free agent.
Wallace, who played at Alabama, signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He played four seasons in Buffalo, starting all 52 career games.
Wallace played in 15 games and made nine starts in his first season in Pittsburgh in 2022, collecting 48 tackles, 13 passes defended and four interceptions, helping the Steelers to the NFL lead.
In 2023, Wallace was the lone holdover at cornerback, as the Steelers moved on from Art Maulet, Cam Sutton and Ahkello Witherspoon, bringing in Patrick Peterson and Chandon Sullivan as free agents and drafting Joey Porter Jr.
Wallace started alongside Peterson, but ended up as the odd man out when Porter took over a starting role midseason. He later regained his starting job when Peterson moved to safety to replace the suspended Damontae Kazee late in the season. In 16 games, he made nine starts, recorded 38 tackles, defended 11 passes and grabbed two interceptions. His six interceptions from 2022-23 tied Minkah Fitzpatrick for the team lead.
On April 22, 2024, the Denver Broncos signed Wallace to a one-year contract. Wallace played in 13 games, starting two in his lone season with Denver.
On Aug. 2, 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Wallace. His tenure did not last long, however. He was placed on injured reserve on Aug. 9, and released on August 13.
