Speaking of Levi Wallace - you know, the namesake of this thread, here's an interesting read on how he made his choice to become a Steeler vs Bill. The spin is that it was a "heavenly" signal but perhaps more of a laundry day coincidence?

"Honestly, I was on the fence of either staying with Buffalo or going to Pittsburgh," Wallace said (H/T Steelers Depot). "Ultimately, when my agent called and he was like, 'You should think about going to Pittsburgh,' I said, 'OK, I'll call you back, let me pray about this.' I prayed and I said, 'Lord, if you want me to go to Pittsburgh, let me know, give me a sign.'"

Almost as soon as Wallace asked for a sign from above, he got one.

"Man, I'm just sitting there, contemplating, and I looked down, and I had black and gold shorts on," Wallace said. "I was like, 'Do you know what?' There it is. There's a sign. The Lord must want me to go to Pittsburgh, and I honestly just called my agent back and was like, 'let's go, let's do it.'"

And there you have it. That's why Wallace ended up picking the Steelers over the Bills in free agency. It took a heavenly sign and now he'll be heading to the team that's famous for one of the most heavenly wins in NFL history, the "Immaculate Reception."

Despite the signs from above, Wallace said leaving Buffalo still wasn't easy on him.

"It was a difficult decision for me. I went back and forth with my agent," Wallace said. "I think prayer helped me a lot, but it doesn't make it any easier. You have real relationships, real friendships, real brotherhood [with your old team]. It sucks. At the same time, I can't wait to get to Pittsburgh and start working there too. It's business. Business is business. I look forward to the opportunity to be in Pittsburgh and create the same relationships and friendships in that city."

Wallace, who signed as in Buffalo as an undrafted free agent in 2018, was an unexpected surprise for the Bills. During his four seasons in Buffalo, he started in all 52 games that he played in. In 2021 alone, he set career highs with 10 pass breakups and 58 tackles. Now, he'll be heading to Pittsburgh after signing a two-year, $8 million deal with the Steelers and he'll almost certainly be a starter in 2022."

I'm just glad he wasn't wearing puke orange and feces brown or he would have ended up in the third world nation a hundred miles from here.

I’m having a little bit of trouble with the Chuks resigning, but maybe he’ll prove me wrong.

This is why an OT or corner back needs to be the 20th pick.
