Wallace burst onto the scene in 2009 as one of the fastest receivers in the league. The Steelers capitalized on his explosiveness by featuring him as the designated vertical option on most plays. During the early portion of his career, Wallace's repertoire consisted of the go, post and deep comeback. Wallace's fastball is certainly enough to bring him success, but if he wants to anchor a team's passing game as the No. 1 receiver, he must be able to run a variety of short and intermediate routes. When I study Wallace's game, I'm not impressed with his ability to get open consistently against elite corners on intermediate routes. He lacks the creativity and cleverness to set up defenders with a variety of stems, and he still tips off his routes with his body positioning and choppy steps when getting into his breaks. Although Wallace's speed and explosiveness keep defenders from squatting on his routes, he must continue to refine his game as a route runner to be considered a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL.
