Left cornerback Levi Wallace of the Buffalo Bills had five tackles in a 24-21 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wallace has played in two games in his NFL career, started both and the Bills have won both.

 

Not saying its a coincidence buttttttt....

It is mind boggling to think that the Bills have found two UDFA's........... FROM ALABAMA, for heaven's sake.............

 

that are contributing to the team right now.

 

I am not saying that it will last, but it is hard to believe nonetheless.

5 Bills' Storyline to Watch vs. the Jets

Levi Wallace Part 2

Against the Jets, Wallace got his first-career start in Week 10. Since then, he’s been OK. Wallace did allow Donte Moncrief to grab a long pass against him when the Bills faced off against the Jaguars, but most forget about that since a brawl erupted seconds later.
 
In his last game, Wallace faced DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills from the Dolphins. To date, he probably has his toughest challenge in Week 14. The Jets feature Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse. Anderson didn’t play the last time these two met, just like Darnold. Keep an eye on the undrafted rookie corner this week to see if he’s up to the task.

From Joe B's Five Things for the NYJ game:

 

3) Levi Wallace to face his biggest test?
- The Bills made a move about a month ago now to release cornerback Phillip Gaines, which gave an opportunity to Levi Wallace to be the full-time starter at cornerback. Wallace, also an undrafted rookie, hasn't had any glaring errors in his three games of starting. However, he hasn't faced a quarterback that would try to punish the Bills for starting a rookie cornerback, either. In order, the Wallace and the Bills have faced Josh McCown, Blake Bortles, and Ryan Tannehill -- one backup, and two starters that could be replaced by their teams ahead of the 2019 season. This time around the Bills will be up against rookie Sam Darnold. And while he might be inexperienced, he isn't afraid to sling the ball around -- at least not yet -- as his league-leading 14 interceptions would indicate. Darnold and the Jets are likely quite aware of Wallace, considering on the opposite side of the field they'd have to contend with second-year player Tre'Davious White, who is one of the better cornerbacks in the league. It's natural logic to think that a quarterback willing to throw the ball around would target Wallace rather than White. So, like Foster, this is a clear opportunity for the undrafted rookie cornerback. In the next three weeks, Wallace will go up against Darnold, the throw-friendly Matt Stafford with Detroit, and then the ultimate challenge in Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.  Should Wallace be able to show well in those three games, that will likely bump down adding another starting cornerback on the priority list. He's off to a good start, but this Sunday begins the real test for Wallace.

On November 6th, the Bills called up Levi Wallace from the practice squad and he’s since started Buffalo’s last four games and performed admirably. In Week’s 10-14 (Wallace’s 1st four games), Wallace grades as PFF’s fifth-best cornerbackOver that span, Wallace has been targeted 11 times and allowed 5 receptions for 50 yards with 2 pass breakups. He’s allowed just 4 yards after the catch and gave up just one reception to a target longer than 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage despite being tested on 5 occasions.

lots of work to do. but my goodness I love seeing Beane fill some holes before the offseason even starts.

 

Wallace, Foster, and Mckenzie have been gems.

 

excited to see how Levi finishes out the season.
