The Denver Broncos are actively looking to shore up a potential weak spot on their defense.
The Broncos’ very quiet offseason in terms of signings has raised concerns about their starting cornerback opposite Pat Surtain II. The Broncos are planning to address them.
“Free agent CB Levi Wallace will visit the #Broncos tomorrow,” Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported on April 11. “Wallace has 12 career INTs and 54 PBUs with the #Bills and #Steelers.”
Wallace joined the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018.
A three-year starter at Alabama, a solid senior season did not boost his draft stock. Wallace signed with the Bills, where he spent four seasons and started all 52 games.
He spent the last two seasons with the Steelers, starting 18 of 31 games and allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete 53.3% of throws thrown his way, according to Pro Football Reference.
He has also seen the fewest snaps for his squad in his career during that time.
For the Broncos, the meeting could come down to cash in order for all sides to reach an agreement.
He’s built like a running back, tackles like a safety, and has cornerback-caliber ball skills. Mitchell can play in a variety of coverages and was the clear top cornerback at the Senior Bowl when he practiced against the top receivers,” NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein noted. “While he needs to trace a more efficient path when hounding the route, his burst to close and physicality at the catch point could create tougher throwing windows for quarterbacks.”
