After making the playoffs two of the past three seasons, the Buffalo Bills aren’t hiding anymore. Everyone knows this team has some very talented players that make the wheel go round on the process.
Tre’Davious White is finally an All-Pro, Tremaine Edmunds is a Pro Bowler, Stefon Diggs is just a beast.
But in a sport like football that requires so many players on a team’s rosters, plenty of players will be overlooked and could be considered underrated in the eyes of many. The Bills certainly have plenty of players like this.
With that, here are five underrated Bills on the 2020 roster:
CB Levi Wallace
Unfortunately for Levi Wallace, he now falls in this category because of his own team’s actions this offseason. Wallace has been the No. 2 cornerback for the Bills, across from Tre’Davious White, for a good while now. Over a year and then some. However, the Bills brought in Josh Norman and EJ Gaines to compete with Wallace for that spot.
If Wallace wants to keep his job, he’ll have to beat out two guys who are good. Not only good, two guys who have played well in Sean McDermott’s defense already in their careers. Wallace is being a bit overlooked, but shouldn’t be. He’s underrated because of that.
Wallace actually had a solid season in 2019. Wallace recorded his first two interceptions of his career a year ago with nine passes defended. Overall, Pro Football Focus ranked him the 42nd best cornerback in the NFL last season. PFF is taken with a grain of salt, but that’s about the range you’d love your No.2 cornerback to be at.
