Bill from NYC Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Levi Wallace was an actual walk on. That's right. a walk on at the University of Alabama who made the team. I am not saying that the kid has Minkah Fitzpatrick type talent. He does not. But, he works his ass off and I have seen him make some clutch plays for the Tide. Now, I am not qualified (nor do I focus on defensive backs enough) to predict how well he makes the transition to the NFL. What I do know is that Saban loves him (btw Saban started as a defensive backs coach) and Calvin Ridley praises him. The following link is a nice read. A qb? A pass rusher and a DT? Late round and a UFA defensive backs? I don't know how it will turn out, but this is my favorite draft in 20 years or so. http://www.espn.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/130603/how-levi-wallace-went-from-a-walk-on-to-a-star-at-alabama 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good read and I am really rooting for the kid. I'm with you, I really like this draft - and I feel better about the direction of this franchise than I have in many years.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Well I for one am relieved that your head didn’t explode from the choice of so many db in this draft! Welcome back bill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjjr Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Was the best cover corner on Alabama for most of the season. Should have a good chance at nickel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 8 minutes ago, Niagara Dude said: The guy is too slow, bad draft and followed by poor signings. Fast enough for 18 pass defenses and 3 INTs. I'm sure it's his work ethic and dedication (walk-on to Sr starter at Alabama) that earned him an UDFA shot. Zierlein's take is he's got a "better than average chance to make an NFL roster" and the thing he most needs to develop is strength, strong WR can out-muscle him at this point. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/levi-wallace?id=32462018-0002-5599-37dc-f8dc32c7ecf3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I will take anyone from Bama or UGA as an UDFA signing. These players come from great systems and play against the best competitors each day at practice and in games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
