The Denver Broncos signed Levi Wallace on Monday, bringing them to a roster that includes two former Alabama cornerbacks.

Patrick Surtain II and Wallace join the Denver secondary. They weren’t the Crimson Tide’s teammates. Surtain’s first season at Alabama coincided with Wallace’s debut in the NFL in 2018.

The Denver Broncos have decided to retain Patrick Surtain II until the 2025 NFL Draft. Will the SEC once more offer the top defensive pick?
Wallace finished his collegiate career with the Alabama Tide’s CFP national championship squad in 2017, and despite not being selected, he has started 70 NFL games.

When injuries struck the secondary in the latter month of the 2023 season, Wallace, who had started the season with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a member of the starting lineup, saw his playing time decrease as rookie Joey Porter Jr., selected in the second round, took the field.

In 2023, Wallace played 726 defensive snaps in 16 games, nine of which he started. He finished with 38 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 passes defended.

Surtain has played in three NFL seasons and has made two Pro Bowls and one first-team All-Pro team. However, there is rivalry for the cornerback spot opposite Surtain. After making 11 starts at cornerback for Denver in 2023, Fabrian Moreau did not sign a new contract.

During a press conference last week, Broncos general manager George Paton stated, “You’re always looking for corners and edge (rushers) — value-type positions.” Sunday to talk about the NFL Draft. We are fond of our corner group. We boast one of the league’s top corners. Ja’Quan McMillian is our nickel, and we like it. We have Riley (Moss) and Damarri (Mathis), two young men from outside.

“You’re looking to add at those kinds of positions all the time.”

After starting the first six games of his second season, Mathis was replaced by Moreau and went on to play 27 additional defensive snaps in the remaining games in 2023. Last season, Moss made 23 defensive snaps in his rookie campaign.

Since March 13, Wallace has been a free agent without restrictions.

In 2022, Wallace agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Despite spending the first nine games of his rookie season on the practice squad, Wallace started every 52 games in his four seasons with the Buffalo Bills before joining Pittsburgh.
